The browser popups do actually work, they just show up way off the screen. This is a super old bug. Like, BYOND 3.5 old.
Indeed old and annoying, in some cases the popup windows also hide to either left or right of either monitor and you can't drag it out in most cases. Theres also some wierd issues where you host 2 of the same game, but one game has the same window edited in a different way. This will result in you not been able to popup the window at all or hidden, until you quit both games and enter only 1 Game to get the edited window to popup.
I run 4 monitors and have not had this happen yet... Granted, I use byond version 498 but... Ter says this is a 3.5 ancient bug so... I don't have a clue. I've never actually seen this happen before. O.o
It only happens if DS is not on the primary monitor.
