Environment

Novell GroupWise 8 Support Pack 2 Hot Patch 2

Situation

 
Issue happens when using dual monitors where display 1 is the primary and display 2 is the secondary. 
Steps to duplicate: 
Move the GroupWise client to display 2. Then open an existing Mailbox item and it will open on display 1 instead of display 2. This also happens for New Mail, New Appt, New Task and Calendar. If
you move any of the opened windows to display 2 and close them, then reopen, they will always open back on display 1. However, the Address Book once moved to display 2 will always reopen on display 2. 
 
If you reverse the test and make display 2 the primary and display 1 the secondary, you can move the open windows to either display and reopen them
there at will. Meaning they reopen where they were last displayed on either display 2 or display 1.
