expanding Pharo window to left and Window positioning

Hi,

what rules govern window positioning?

I have a dual monitor setup and and sometimes extend the Pharo window over both of them;
for some reason however World submorphs (all Windows) are locked to the left side, which is what I am dragging, so all the windows move to the secondary screen.

If I expand the right side, then the windows don't move (but they are again on the wrong screen).

Is it possible to change this behavior?

I tried to change World listDirection but it had no effect.

Thanks,
Peter

Which OS are you on? I don't get this behaviour.

I'm on Linux Debian 8 dual screen (laptop + 24") and even though I don't normally do it, I just tested and have no problem spanning Pharo across both screens, starting on either screen and dragging to the other.

Peter look at the realEstateAgent logic.
Normally it should be control the window placement.
