Hello,

i use Sourcetree 4.2.11 (271) on a Mac M1. Since years of satisfaction I do now face a very annoying problem. 

Each dialog popup (e.g. when switching branches, applying stashes,....) appears on a complete different screen as the main application. 

I have a 3 Monitor setup, plus my laptop (which is mostly unused). The worst example is when I have Sourcetree on the very left screen, I have to move to the very right screen to klick the ok button on the dialog. Even moving only 1 screen aside is annoying especially when this is the laptop scree beside me.

Is it possible to make Sourcetree open dialogues on the same screen as the application runs? Is there a known bug or knowledge to this topic?

Best regards

Stefan

@Stefan Welcome to the Atlassian community

I have not experienced this issue nor am I able to recreate it.  I would suggest running the application in your default screen.  This should ensure that the pop-ups are in the same screen.

Since this question is older have you tried updating sourcetree to see if it was just a bug in the version you are on?
