As long as we're talking about multiple monitors.

Tooltips always show up on the first monitor.

If you have the APL session on the second monitor and hover over a variable, instead of the tooltip appearing at the mouse location, it's at the edge of the first monitor.

I tested this in versions 6.2 and 7.0 - it's happening in both of them.

Nancy:

It isn't possible to move an edit window to a different monitor due to the current design of the APL session. The APL session is an MDI window and unlike the Preferences windows, the edit windows are child MDI windows. Just like the MDIForm class, child MDI windows cannot exist outside the bounds of its parent MDI window.

I hope this helps.
