 wxDirDialog appears partly outside the screen on Windows. The user has to
 move the window onto the screen every time.
 Btw. setting of size and position from code is also not supported, so
 there is no way around it. It also doesn't seem to make a difference what
 I specify as parent window.

Comment:

 How can this be reproduced? Does it happen in the dialogs sample? If not,
 what is the minimal modification needed to reproduce the problem there?

 Also, what is your Windows version and do you use multiple monitors and if
 so how are they arranged?

 The problem also occurs with the dialogs sample, and always. I'm using a
 single monitor and a screen resolution of 1680*1050. The problem also
 occurs on my laptop computer, which only has 1024*768, but it's only very
 slightly outside at the bottom there. If I change the resolution on my
 desktop machine, the problem magically disappears (also after I switch
 back to 1680*1050), it keeps on working properly from then on. But the
 problem doesn't go away on my laptop machine with this method. I'm using
 Windows XP Professional with service pack 2 on both computers.

Comment:

 I can't reproduce it here in the dialogs sample, neither on my main
 machine (2 monitors) nor in a VM (1) so I'm not sure where to go from here
 -- the system is supposed to position the dialog itself and I have no idea
 why does it do it wrongly in your case. In any case, I'm almost sure it's
 not a wx bug as there is simply nothing in our code which could explain
 it.

 I realize that this probably doesn't help you much but it's not useful to
 keep this opened here because we can't do anything about it, sorry.
