[WriteLog] Rttyrite on extended desktop

I've had this problem for sometime and keep forgetting to ask the group if others see the same thing.

My main monitor is a Dell laptop and I have a HP widescreen monitor setup as an extended desktop.  When running a clone RttyRite window for RTTY on the extended desktop left clicking on a call or the exchange doesn't populate the Entry window fields.  I have discovered if I right click on a call WL will push that call onto the stack and I can then pop it from the stack to the call field.

If I drag this clone window to the laptop monitor left clicking works normally.  Since the laptop screen is significantly smaller than the extended desktop I cannot fit all the open clone windows on that monitor and see the other log windows.  I would like to have the clone windows open on the extended desktop respond to a left mouse click and populate the Entry window.  I know of at least one other individual, Bob WB2COY, who has indicated he has this same problem with his extended desktop.  Steve N9OH at WL support indicates that Wayne has multiple monitors and this is not an issue for him.  He also indicates that it may be a problem with my computer setup.

My OS is Vista Home Premium, which I know is a POS, but still everything else I open on the extended desktop works ok.  Word, Excel, Power Point, EditPro Lite, CC User, etc.  All these programs respond correctly to mouse clicks normally.  The only difference is when clicking on something on the extended desktop none of these applications are trying to populate a field back on the main monitor.  So, the question is, is anyone else seeing this behavior by RttyRite on an extended desktop?  Has anyone ever had the problem and fixed it?  Is there a WL ini setting somewhere that is improperly set?  Any help appreciated.
