Research direction

No files or tests are named. Reproduce the issue with two monitors arranged at different vertical offsets, then trace the mouse movement and click coordinate handling; done means movements and clicks land on the intended location on both screens.

Description

bug

As mentioned by @tagliola at #98

It also fails if the second monitor is layed out above the first monitor. I have a dual screen setup where the secondary screen is to the right in portrait, and it sticks out slightly above the primary monitor. The clicks are offset vertically at the distance the second monitor sticks out. If I align the tops of the two screens, it works.
