I looked for this issue and didn’t find anything so I am posting it here.  
I have a fairly straightforward client with handful of subwindows. I have monitor setup with two monitors where the second monitor extends the desktop. If I move my client to the secondary monitor and click on combobox to make selection, the selection list of combobox pops up on the primary screen.

I am using Ignition 7.7.6.

I received an answer on this from the IA’s support. This is a known issue with Java and as of 7.7.6 there is no solution or workaround.
