No it isn't. The theme was working fine until now, it got broken by a Slimjet update.

It's like: hey, my son is sick, let's kill him and make another one. Problem solved.

I'm partial to the theme I'm using. I'm not going to find another one that doesn't have this problem. It is minor irritant, not devastating issue for me.

Well, the newest version didn't fix this.

Got the same problems in Win 10.

But there's more.

Atttached, hopefully, is what things look like on my #2 monitor. It's rotated to portrait mode, and it's my reading monitor so it's usually set to 150% zoon.

And for me, this is a big deal. I'm dropping SJ if this doesn't get fixed. I prefer keeping my browser full-screen, and I'll minimize...but I'm running out of patience to really hunt for the button. Not after this long; this needs to be fixed.

And of course, the issue on the other monitor is a disaster.

BTW, does anyone still have Chrome lying around. Does it also happen with Chrome?

Nope. I'd taken Chrome off, but just re-installed. No problems on either monitor.

HOWEVER...

Just for grins, I changed the theme. Problem disappeared on main monitor. Reinstalled the prior theme. Worked on main monitor. Drag to monitor #2...working just fine.

So it could be that something in the update damaged the theme's tweaks, and that resetting the theme is all it takes. At least in some cases.

Still not great, but at least livable. Theme swaps don't take any time for me, and my connection's just OK...20 meg DSL. All I need.

Thanks for the tip. It worked for me too.
