This is weird !!!!!! anyone else had this strange occurrence, when adjusting the settings for a particular Detail Style, every time I selected the 'Edit Detail Style' the form opened larger than previously, it now stretches over two screens,please see below.
Many thanks for your question.
this happens when the right monitor is the primary. If one makes the left monitor the primary it will show correctly, as menus are not stretched in the "negative" direction.

Hi Johannes,
Many thanks for reply, I can confirm that this did not solve the problem, infact after carrying out this procedure non of the Prosteel commands worked and the whole program 'hung' and had to be shut down using task manager.
I would like to know why this glitch has only just occurred, up until last week it was working ok.
Also the same happens with other Prosteel / Prostructures commands.
This is very frustrating.
Please advise.
Kind regards,
Ged
please delete, when it happens, in Drivename:\Program Files\Bentley\ProStructures\V8i_S6\AutoCAD 201x\Localised\Country setting you used\Temp\Metric all files with the name content *wnd* (Wnd=Window).
For Prostructures on Microstation its in
Drivename of installation:\ProgramData\Bentley\ProStructures V8i S8\WorkSpace\ProStructures\Localised\Country setting you used\Temp\Metric
That sets all dialogs to default position, as thoose files store the dialog positions.
It´s mostly needed to delete these files when you switch monitors or resolution

The above issue has started now with Connect Edition ( see screen shot below)
Have you a solution for this also?
Hi Ged,
like V8i, again in CONNECT Edition also you need to delete the .wndcfg files from the folder. The location for these files are changed in CONNECT Edition.
Please get it from the User folder as shown in below snap.
Also go through the attached Wiki Link
