Resizing windows when two different resolution monitors are involved

I'm new to SecondShell and one of the things that appealed to me immediately is the ability to resize a window vertically/horizontally to fill the screen with a shortcut key. I am using a notebook connected to an external monitor, with both screens running. My notebook is 1920x1200, while the external monitor is 1680x1024. Now here is a problem I've encountered:

1) On the notebook screen, I use the resize shortcut to fit a window vertically. 

2) I move the window to the external monitor so that I can read it more clearly (man the fonts are small at 1900x1200 on a 15.4" screen….).

3) Since the external monitor is only 1024 high, the bottom of the window is cut off (since it was resized to fit 1200 pixels deep on the notebook screen).

4) I attempt to use the SecondShell shortcut again to resize it vertically to fit the external monitor. But instead of doing what I want, SecondShell jumps the window *back* to the notebook screen and resizes it there!  Frown

Can you fix it so that SecondShell recognizes the current screen in effect and resize accordingly?

Thanks.

In fact it's already fixed in the release candidate. The reason for not releasing is that I lack betatesters. If you feel like trying all the new features (and bugfixes) and be a betatester, I can send you the latest beta, just send me a mail to info at secondshell dot com.
