I face the same issue. The Help and Option dialogs stick on the left side of the most left screen, and it is not possible to move them or resize them (the window is too small to see all the options)

Flameshot v12.1.0 (96c2c82e) Compiled with Qt 5.15.2 winnt: 6.1.7601 windows: 7sp1

Similar setup, whereby I have two monitors but my left (2) is Primary and right (1) is secondary. When I press Printscreen, it pops flameshot overlay covering just my primary desktop so I can't select any part of the screen on the secondary desktop.

Maybe it should overlay both screens to allow selection from either or overlay the desktop that the mouse is currently over?

@AzzaAzza69 I think your issue is different from the original post of this thread. I think you have connected your external monitor after you started Flameshot. Right? If so, you should close Flameshot from the tray area and start it again

If people think it would be preferable to have it on the primary screen then changing this line to use QGuiApplication::primaryScreen() would probably do it. The "current screen" it refers to currently is the one that the mouse cursor is on at that time.

A more general fix might be to make it movable. But that has other complications, like how to let people start a selection in the area under it.

Hi, the issue seems to still be present. I have a three monitor setup on windows and the help text and tool button always appears on my left monitor, whatever is the mouse's position.
