RCP display problems with multiple monitors in Windows 7 x64 [message #546524]

I have multiple monitors with 64-bit Windows 7.

If the monitors are arranged in a way so that there is a monitor placed on the top (having negative y-coordinates) or on the left (having negative x-coordinates) to the primary monitor, the border of moving view region is wrongly displayed when a view is dragged around the screen.

The region border is somehow shifted by the number of pixels that the monitor is extended. However, the view can be correctly dropped at the mouse location (regardless of where the region border is drawn).

This problem happens not only to the RCP applications that I built, but also to the Eclipse IDE (version 3.5.x and 3.6) itself.

Does anyone encounter similar issues?

This problem actually stops me from migrating to Win7 x64 from WinXP x86.

There's no such problem in WinXP x86 at all.

Hi,

Please log a bug with swt at
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=Platform &component=SWT
and provide steps that show this problem with a base eclipse install. Also
be sure to mention that this is Windows 7-specific.

Thanks,
Grant
