Programs menu opens on wrong monitor when on secondary monitor

When Classic Shell is opened on the DisplayFusion taskbar, the Programs flyout menu opens to the left instead of to the right. This makes it show up on a different monitor. Can you keep any flyout menus on the same monitor as the start menu, or is this by design? Thanks! :)

Seems like an incompatibility with DisplayFusion. You should contact them for support.

I am the DisplayFusion developer, I'm just letting you know that when the Classic Start Menu is moved from it's default position, the flyouts don't open in the correct place. Shouldn't the flyouts always open on the same monitor that the Start Menu is currently on?

The start menu uses the position of the start button to decide where to appear, what is the available screen area, and in what direction to expand.

If the menu is on a different monitor than the start button, all those calculations are wrong. Does not compute.

The latest version 3.6.3 detects when DisplayFusion tries to move the menu to another monitor and will react accordingly.
