But I have also noticed this problem on my Mac OS X laptop when running again after leaving either git-gui or gitk on the external display. I once started working on a fix for git-gui but put it aside as I didn't have an external monitor handy. I haven't hooked one up to my laptop in months so it would be a bit of work for me to test and debug. -- Shawn. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
