WLM9 Beta: Contact Card popup of-place if windows is in second mon

If the conversation window is on the second monitor (in a dual monitor
configuration), overing the mouse on the display picture, it shows the
options to "View Contact Card", "View Profile", etc in the middle of the
window instead of on top of the display picture.

Greetings,

Would you mind making a full screen (both screens) screenshot with where the window is? I've
tried to duplicate this here, but it pops up where I would expect it to.

Please, check my print screen at

So far, I was unable to not-replicate. When I move the conversation windows
to the first screen (larger on the left) the popup appears correctly. The
problem only appears when the window is on the second monitor.

Hi,

Thanks.

I noticed that your one screen was smaller (I have the same res on both screens), so I
duplicated that. Additionally I turned off Vista glass so that is was more "XP mode". Still
no repro.

So I suspect it's either something exclusive to XP or it's Ultramon messing it up (which I
don't have installed).

If a have some time later on, I 'll try to isolate the problem by removing
all other programs.

I had to format my computer and with a new XP (and ultramon) the problem has
gone away. I cannot reproduce it anymore now.
