Vertical split changing GVim application window position

tUsing Vim 7.3 patches 1 - 556 (the Vim without Cream
version) on XP SP3.

I have a dual-monitor system, both monitors are the same
size and resolution, the left-hand monitor is the primary
one so no negative desktop coordinates.

When switching the display to show a vertical split (e.g.
use :vsplit, or switch to a tab that's already split), if
the GVim Application window is across the boundary of the
two monitors, it changes position to be on one of them -
I think whichever monitor is showing more of the window
at the time. It's reproducible, like this:

. Run "gvim -N -u NONE -i NONE"
. Put the Application window across the boundary between
the two monitors
. Enter command ":vsplit"

Background: I'm using ":vert diffsplit" and stretching gvim
across both monitors to fill the screen. Every time I
switch to another tab and back, it changes the application
window position.

Can I stop this from happening? Anyone else see this, or
indeed do this with vimdiff and NOT see it?

regards,
Geoff

This doesn't happen with horizontal splits, but some time
back I mentioned another issue with this configuration that
does - switch the position of the application window
between monitors and the split changes position. (I've
turned off the SwapScreen utility I used there so it
isn't involved in this vsplit problem.) No-one had any
insight into that one, so I'm wondering if my machine
is peculiar in some way.
