Overflow needs to be stable on second screen

I use two screens, a cinema display with menus and a portable as a second screen. I'd like Overflow to 'stick' on the portable screen. I move it to the second screen but upon reopening the Overflow window has moved up into the first screen. Not all the way but just enough to overlap. As you can never get the two screens lined up with the quite the same resolution it's a mess. Attached is a screen shot.
Any help?

    Hi,

    (sorry for the double-reply, but this is probably a better place in case others are seeing the problem as well).

    Does this window position problem happen only when disconnecting then reconnecting the external display, or does it happen every time you open the Overflow window?

    Thanks for asking Dan, It happens every time I click on the open application of Overflow in the doc.

    Taking a closer look at your screenshot, I think you can solve this problem by unchecking the "Clicking Dock Icon Snaps Window to Dock Location" checkbox in Overflow's preferences.

    Let me know if unchecking that does not solve the problem for you.

    That and unclicking the "Hot Key snaps to mouse position" did it! Thanks so much.
