Unfortunately no. When I repeat your commands, everything shows up on
the right screen. I tried (for fun) to use a negative number in
location but without success. If I put my workbench on the left
screen, I still have the same problem (showing on the right screen).
I'm on mac and the top IDL menu is showing up on my right screen
(because it's my main screen). Maybe other people experienced the same
problem on their 2 displays (or more) ?
