Description rudyment 2007-08-30 09:40:46 UTC
When I try to drag a document from the editor pane and move it outside the application window, the IDE creates a new 
window for this document. It's fine, but it doesn’t work if I move the document on another monitor. Now I should make 
the IDE window smaller, move the document outside of it (but on the same monitor), and drop the document. IDE then 
creates a new window with this document. In the second step I can drag this new window on another monitor without 
problems. In the third step I can again maximize the original IDE window. 

It would be fine to be able to make it on one step, it means to be able to move the document directly on another 
monitor and let make there the window of it own.

I can't reproduce on my Vista box, I can move document to another monitor easily just by one DnD operation. Stando
please could you try on win XP please, thanks.

Reporter, is there anything special in your setup? Some windows maximized, perhaps? IDE in full screen mode? Please
specify whole set of steps in detail how to reproduce this bug and reopen if the bug still persists, thank you.
