Dialogs not staying on top

I have noticed that certain dialogs do not stay on top of the open Microstation session when using dual monitors. Manage Element Template, Edit Template, Manage Annotation Groups are all examples. I can't recover them using the popset trick. When they get stuck, I am forced to force a close on the program to get out.

    This has gotten worse for me lately (using laptop monitor and 2 screens), a dialog for screen 2 will pop-up on another screen (usually the laptop). When I drag it back to the screen 2 where it used to be, it jumps to the opposite screen 3. Even choosing the "Change Screen" command jumps between 1 and 3, refusing to stay on view 1 where it used to reside. May be a driver issue, but that has not been updated in a while, so nothing shoudl have changed.

    It is possible to detect if a dialog will not be displayed within the available screen space, if a dialog is located out of view, can we get them shifted to within the available screen space when opened.
