Multi-Monitor Strangeness

I am running three monitors - two are the same brand and size 22" wide screen, the other a smaller one, a 19" regular screen.  I've noticed that when I open Plan-G it opens on the main monitor (no problem their) but if I move it to either secondary monitor it begins to act strange.  If I resize the buttons on the upper right go away as does the plan, GPS area on the right of the map.  If I click on the Plan-G icon on the upper left the window to open flight plans and exit appears on the main screen and I can not close Plan-G as exit is grayed out.  I have to close it form the taskbar by selecting close.  I'm not sure if this is a Plan-G issue or something else but I figure I'll report it.  My other apps (IE, Firefox, Tbird, etc. all work fine).

Windows 7 Pro, 64 bit.

This is a known issue, and seems to be related to the order in which the monitors are configured.

If you have a two monitor setup, ensuring that the second monitor is configures to be on the RIGHT, and the primary monitor on the LEFT, gets rid of the problem. Not sure how a 3 monitor setup needs to be configured though, but I suspect it is similar.

The problem has been reported to Microsoft.

So I'm not crazy then!  I have them 3 1 2 with 3 being the standard screen 19" and 1, 2 the same model widescreen.  I probably would need to go 1 2 3 but I don't want them setup that way so I'll  leave it as is.

Thanks.
