AI 28.5.0 Contextual Menus display in wrong monitor

[Frank Heller]

I have a Macbook Pro M1 16" and a 27" LG 4k  arranged so the LG is above the Macbbok monitor. WHen working on a drawing in the upper monitor (all the palettes are in the lower) an I right click to bring up the contextual menu to unlock guides, the menu shows up at the bottom of the lower LG monitor. About 4-5 versions back, this was not the case. The contextual menu should show up in the vicinity of where the mouse was clicked.

It is the latest. 14.4.1. This wasn't an issue a few Illustrator versions back. I already read that ancient link before I posted here. No help there. This is new and Adobe did something that caused this.

Tried again with latest macOS 14.5.  Latest version of Illustrator still dumps the contextual menu onto the wrong screen. Added 2-screen screen shot illustrating the issue.

Hello @Frank Heller,

We understand that encountering technical issues can be frustrating. Would you mind trying to run Illustrator under a different administrator account (Windows / macOS) and checking if it helps?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,
