Build Identifier: 20100917-0705 I have Eclipse maximized in a two-monitor system on Linux. That maximizes Eclipse to a single screen, which is fine. However, if I then click the "show list" button to show me a list of other editor tabs not visible, that list is presented such that the left side of the list dialog is aligned with the left side of the "show list" button itself...but this causes the list dialog to break across the screen, making it hard to read. See the attachment for a screen shot, and an idea of how to fix. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Maximize Eclipse on a two-monitor Linux system 2. Open more editor tabs than can be displayed. 3. Click "show list".

And for the record, I really like your idea. I'll check with my manager to arrange a trip to that wonderful place ;-)
I am not your manager, but am doing all I can for you to visit the Ottawa lab one day. We have some nice canoeing spots close by, too :-)
You know, the more I think about this issue, the more convinced I become of it's extreme difficulty. You're going to need to fly me up to Canada, and we can go spend 10 days out on the silent water discussing the various options. Late June is a great time to go!

(In reply to comment #5) > *** Bug 339120 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** My bugreport is not really a duplicate, but it's a similar issue. When having two monitors, the show list button displays centered on the left monitor (whilst my window actually spreads *more* then one monitor, which would mean it would probably be on the right monitor instead of the left)
