I have the same issue. You can only open a child window on the same monitor
as the opening window monitor. Some may call this a security issue, but
other browsers don't seem to think so. At the very least, there needs to
be a user setting that will allow it.

We have this same issue with our application software. We can open
secondary (child) windows on the same monitor but cannot cause them to open
and "remember" that position on secondary monitors. Other browsers support
this feature. If this is something security related, can Chrome have a
setting at least to allow this for certain sites similar to trusted site or
something along those lines

We too have this issue with our business application software. As stated,
our users are able to open a secondary (child) window on the same monitor,

but cannot cause them to open and "remember" that position on secondary

monitors. Our experience is that other browsers support this feature. If
security related, can Chrome provide a setting to allow for certain sites;
or are we missing something.

It was indicated this was fixed in the 21.0.1180.75 build. Can the
developer that posted this fix advise if they specifically saw the behavior
we are seeing and if after that build, they were seeing a different
behavior. From what we can tell, the behavior does not appear to have
changed with this 21.0.1180.75 build. Thank you.

try this javascript from chrome on monitor one, then two

test1=window.open('','test1','left=2100,height=200,width=200'); // ask for
second
test1.document.write('window test1');
test2=window.open('','test2','left= 100,height=200,width=200'); // ask for
first
test2.document.write('window test2');

Chrome 30 result is you get both windows on the monitor that parent chrome
is on
Firefox (24) works properly from both monitors (both windows in correct
monitor)
Opera and Safari fail with different bugs.

Hi Team,

We really need help with this. We also need a launch child windows in

Please help or give us a workaround. Greatly appreciate it.

the left parameter works well in a chrome app, when you create a new
webview. But this is embarassing to develop a chrome app only for dual
monitor for chrome users.

Since this was originally reported on Chrome v20.0 and there have been a
few comments to this recently, retested to verify this is still an issue on
the most recent release of Chrome. Using the same jsfiddle, as well as
personal webapp, this still seems to be occurring, no change in results
since the ticket created. Failed in Chrome 34.0.1847.116 m.

Chrome is our favorite browser. It's a shame that Chrome still fails to

barbieri.. I'm not sure about what your last comment means. This bug is
that if you do add window.screenX, it does not work in chrome - the popup
window position always gets restricted to the screen that the root window
is on. E.g. what you are describing does not work (in chrome).

In addition, we have found a further problem. We have a multi-window app
and from a popup window you can open another popup window. If you have the
first window on screen 1 and the 2nd window on screen 2 and use the window
object from window 2 to open a window, specifying a location on screen 2,
then that window is restricted onto screen 1.. which is very confusing for
the user.

Okay, so google is just not even trying to care. The argument can be made
that this prevents pop-ups and unclosable windows (even though its easily
possible to close any windows from the taskbar/window selection panel) yet
we cannot get window memory beyond a single monitor, this is just crap and
makes using chrome, a great browser that runs well and operates at an
individual level to keep from screwing your whole browser just because one
page crashes, yet its unusable for basic web based ticketing systems and
dynamic web based applications where multi-monitor is almost a necessity. 3
years running and we still don't have multi monitor support in chrome, wtf
google?

Which is just the dumbest thing, a chrome app can open to a different
window than the main browser window, but Chrome itself cannot have window
memory for another monitor, where Opera, Firefox, and Safari, and (soon to
be dead) IE can without any issue but Chrome does not allow it.
