>> Hi,
>>
>> I've checked the Users forum and the ticket system but I can't find this
>> issue reported.
>>
>> I'm having a problem with TortoiseMerge when trying to apply a patch,
>> where the File patches tool window is positioned off-screen. If the tool
>> window is positioned off the desktop area, it is automatically moved
>> onscreen but this doesn't occur when the tool window is positioned within
>> the desktop area but in an area where there is no screen.
>>
>> I have a 4 monitor system. The primary monitor is in the centre and then
>> there are additional monitors on both sides and then one above. This
>> creates voids in the desktop area above the left and right monitors (i.e.
>> to the left and right of the top monitor).
>>
>> The patching process is initiated by right clicking the patch file and
>> selecting the "TortoiseSVN | Apply Patch..." context menu item. This
>> starts the TortoiseMerge application, with the main window displayed in
>> the position from the previous execution.
>>
>> If the main application window position is on the central monitor, the
>> File Patches tool window is displayed to the left of the main application
>> window, aligned with the top of the main application window. Everything is
>> visible and all is well.
>>
>> If the main application window position is on the right monitor, the
>> behaviour is the same. Again, everything is visible and all is well.
>>
>> If the main application window position is to the left edge of the left
>> monitor, the File Patches tool window is drawn on the left side of the
>> central (primary) monitor. While the File Patches tool window isn't in the
>> usual location, everything is visible and all is well.
>>
>> If the main application window is to the left edge of the top monitor, the
>> File Patches tool window is drawn to the left of the main application
>> window. In this case the File Patches tool window is NOT visible and there
>> is no visual indication how to apply the patch changes.
>>
>> The solution would seem to be to detect that the File Patches tool window
>> is off-screen and redraw it, as is done when it is off-desktop. Perhaps
>> the MonitorFromPoint function (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-
>> us/library/windows/desktop/dd145062%28v=vs.85%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-
>> 2147217396) would be helpful for this.
>>
>> The actual monitor/desktop layout is reported below, where the top monitor
>> is Monitor 2:
>> Desktop
>> Width: 8320
>> Height: 3240
>> Left: -1920
>> Top: -1080
