OK. i've got an external monitor plugged into my laptop and before, while comparing a couple of changes i'd made to a webpage, i moved one of safri's windows onto the external monitor. now everytime i open a new window in safari it opens on the external monitor rather than my main monitor. i've even tried quitting and restarting safari and it's still doing it - extremely ****in' annoying!

I've had this happen to me. I think what I did was open a new window, move it to the monitor I wanted, and then something else...

I think it was either open a new window from that window (right clicking on a link and saying open in new window) or hit command-N with that window on top. Something like that.....yeah, it is a little of an annoyance. I wonder what the systems uses to base what monitor to open an app's new window on.

strangely enough, the problem now seems to have fixed itself - safari is opening new windows on the main monitor again. the annoying thing is that both the compulsive opening everything on the external monitor and the return to normal behaviour seemed to happen completely at random and persist through restarting safari.

doh! - it's happening again. even persists through quitting safari, quitting the finder and doing a "detect displays" from the menu bar. how irritating!

[update]

the annoying behaviour has even persisted through a restart. how crap is that?
