I forgot to mention that I'm running Mac OS X 10.5. I don't know if this problem exists on previous versions of OS X.

Leo, I posted an SWT code snippet on bug#219716 for another different bug, but we can use it to confirm this one.

Can you please run it and confirm that it is an SWT bug?

And what is your monitor positioning? There is an bug in Windows when the primary monitor is at right or bellow the secondary (bug#219171).
Comment 5 Leo Dos Santos CLA 2008-02-20 20:46:33 EST 
Yes, the last time I looked into this my impression was that the bug lay in SWT. I'm in the process of moving to 3.4 this week and I was hoping to look into this bug with the lastest SWT, so this is perfect timing.

As for monitor positioning, my primary is on the left, although I don't recall any difference when I set the primary to be the right monitor.
Comment 6 Leo Dos Santos CLA 2008-02-22 20:49:37 EST 
I've run the snippet and it fails to properly capture my dual monitor setup, regardless of how I configure primary/secondary monitor * left/right positioning. I'll re-assign to SWT.
Comment 7 Leo Dos Santos CLA 2008-02-22 20:52:56 EST 
... or request re-assignment to SWT.
Comment 8 Willian Mitsuda CLA 2008-02-23 15:30:04 EST 
Good! Some commiter can please move it to SWT?
