SYMPTOMS
If you are using a Macintosh system with two or more monitors, you cannot drag the window between them. This problem occurs only with a compiled application.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in Microsoft QuickBasic version 1.00 for the Macintosh. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.



MORE INFORMATION
When you try to drag a window across the border of any two monitors, the window stops moving at the screen border. You can push the window across this border, but you cannot completely move it to the second monitor.

Even though the portion of the window that is now on the second monitor is active, you cannot grab the window and pull it all the way over. Clicking in the window or displaying text or graphics will function properly.

Under the QuickBasic interpreter, grabbing the window and dragging it completely across to a second monitor works correctly.

The following sample code will demonstrate this problem if you are using a multimonitor system: WINDOW 1,&quot;Drag Test&quot;,(200,200)-(400,400) 'You can display text or graphics here if you want WHILE MOUSE(0) <> 0 : WEND WINDOW CLOSE 1 END
