Description Peter CLA 2010-06-21 10:44:28 EDT 
Build Identifier: 20090920-1017

I got an multimonitor development machine (6 Monitor's). If i switch to an differen primary-Screen (i.e. from 5 to 4), the main-window placed fine. But all my Eclipse-Views (perspective-view's) i'v detached(!), has ben missplaced outside of all monitors range, so i cant catch/drag them using the mouse.

The only workaround is, to use the 'window'-menu to activate the view i miss, press Alt+Space and move them by keyboard.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Detach a View
2.Change the "Primary Monitor" to a different one.
3.Look for the view you detached.
