So, I've put DROD onto my work computer (shh!)
It's a laptop connected to an external monitor, so I have two screens to play work with.

If I move the DROD window completely off the primary screen, it occasionally jumps back to the top-left corner of the primary screen.

This seems to happen when I'm not in the play screen (I checked Main Menu, Demo Select, and Change Settings screens) and I move the mouse into or out of the DROD window.

When I'm on the playing-a-room screen it doesn't jump at all.

Anyway, not sure if it's some bizarre quirk of my set-up but just thought I'd mention it. (although the secondary screen is the less obvious one and the game doesn't have a boss key! )

No, it's not just your setup - I'm getting the same both at home and at (shhh!) work.

Looks like DROD tries to keep the window on-screen, but doesn't take the complete screen layout into account thus constraining the window to the first monitor.

As for the boss key... the following AutoHotkey script should do the trick:

	IfWinExist, DROD:

	else
		WinShow DROD:
return

Yeah...SDL doesn't seem apt at realizing the resolution for a dual-monitor setup. Sorry. Maybe they'll improve that in a future version.
