 Description   

If you place the minecraft window on a secondary monitor, then using any* keys other than WASD causes a crash. *(I tried 't', and 'e', and they both crashed)

Please report this to lwjgl after testing their latest libraries. https://github.com/LWJGL/lwjgl/issues

Crash when running Minecraft with second monitor attached. Steps:

Attach secondary monitor.
Open Minecraft
Connect to Server
Press E

Attaching the newest crash report is always helpfull.

I can reproduce this at will on my Macbook Pro on the 1.5 client. Please let me know if I can provide any information that will help resolve the issue.

Good catch.
I'm seeing now a slight relation to MC-1159

This is still happening for me. I am running 1.4.6 on a MacBook Pro. After some testing, launching MC and clicking "Login" on the main screen doesn't cause a crash. Launching and clicking "Login" if the window is on the external monitor, opening inventory or chests causes a crash everytime. I have uploaded my most recent crash log.

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.

Doesn't seem to do this on my external display with my iMac on 1.4.2 but this used to happen when using an external display with my macbook pro but that wasn't on 1.4.2 it was 1.3

I am using a 15" Retina MacBook Pro, which has NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB.
Minecraft works fine with no external monitor attached, but if one is attached, and made the primary monitor, then running Minecraft on the laptop screen (which is now the secondary monitor) crashes every time when using 't' or 'e', and likely others. From the crash log, you can see it is failing in AWT getCursorPosition, so it is likely making some incorrect assumption about which screen is primary, and the origin of the screen coordinates.

Unable to reproduce on Integrated: IntelĀ® HD Graphics 3000
No access to my ATI system at the moment.
