Misbehaving Debug Modal

Hi guys,

I'm trying PHPStorm 9 EAP and so far, nice.

However, it's doing something that some the later 8 EAP's were doing: when I put the debug modal window into floating mode, it won't stay on the screen I move it to.

That is to say, I'll be using xdebug, and the modal pops up; I move it to my left screen, but when I click on the new modal, it instantly reverts back to the primary screen.

Frustrating, and I've taken to disabling floating mode.

I would love to have it back on the other screen though Thoughts?

It seems to look like an issue which has already been reported:

That issue appears to be more that the debug modal is being placed off-screen.

My issue is that the modal defaults to the primary screen in floating mode - when I drag it to my second screen to the left of my main monitor (an iMac) it will walk through program execution, but if I try to CLICK on the modal, it instantly pops back to my main screen.

+1 on this. I have the exact same issue. I have my MBPR as my primary, with two external monitors attached - PyCharm on the RHS and a separate floating Console debug window on the LHS.

However, every time I debug, it plants itself back on top of PyCharm on the RHS and I have to manually drag it back to the LHS where I would like it to stay. Sigh.

Ah... I just noticed this is the PhpStorm section. Bah! Will repost in PyCharm section. Reasonable chance it's the same code causing the problem tho, if both IDEs are based on the same framework...
