Bug Description
This happens for almost every dialog in every app in the Mac KiCad suite. This is a huge problem when using multiple monitors.
Steps to reproduce:
1.) Open a schematic or pcb.
2.) Click on a component and press e to edit some value.
3.) Close the edit dialog.
4.) Move the app to another monitor.
5.) Click another component and press e.
The dialog opens on the previous monitor. However it is invisible. In order to view the dialog you have to drag the app back to the previous monitor, and the dialog appears as a small sliver on the side of the screen. This is not isolated to the edit dialog.
Can dialogs please open on the monitor that the app is running?
Other info:
I have "Group windows by application" and "Displays have separate Spaces" selected in Mission Control preferences.
Please help! I love KiCad but this issue severely hinders my productivity.
This also happens on windows (and I'm assuming linux). It is a bug in wxWidgets so I have no idea when it will get fixed.
