The PortableApps menu appears on the wrong screen.

My configuration:
2 screens, left and right, 1280 Pixels each.
Left: Screen 2 (Secondary), Position 0/0 to 1279/1024
Right: Screen 1 (Primary), Position 1280/0 to 2559/1024

The primary screen has the Windows start menu.
At the right bottom corner of the primary screen are tray icons.

The tray icons are at (roughly) 2500/1000. The Portable Apps menu icon appears there, but when clicking the icon, the menu appears at (roughly) 1200/1000, which means it appears in the correct corner, but on the wrong screen.

I hope this was explained well enough for fixing.

    We're currently using a calculation from Delphi giving us the desktop's working area size and then basing it on that. The thinking being that the left-most monitor is nearly always primary (I've never seen someone run it otherwise). Can you check if it works properly for you if you swap primary and secondary?

    After that, I have an idea for checking the primary monitor setup that may work. If you can get back to me quick on this first part, I can probably get it in the next 1.6 Pre-Release of the platform. The current test version is here:
