The previous build should work them same.

Ok, I believe I have a fix: https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/224 https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/224
You can download and try a test build for newer Macs (10.9+): Pd-0.48-1-multimonitor.app.zip http://docs.danomatika.com/pdbuilds/Pd-0.48-1-multimonitor.app.zip
From doing some research, it seems support for negative positions was added to Tk a while ago and it seems to be working fine. I basically just removed the hard clipping to 0 and only try to do the manual placement if Tk is 8.4.

I still need the steps you do to replicate the problem as I'm not seeing it.
Are subpath windows opening in weird places after you create a subpath, open a patch with visible sub patches, etc? I made a test patch and manually edited the positioning to open visible subpatches off screen in each direction and they are all correctly placed back within the visible screen.
One difference might be that I currently have the System Preferences -> Mission Control -> Displays have separate Spaces option OFF.

I my experience, the problem seems to occur if multiple screens are not aligned horizontally. If i arrange my 2 external monitors to extend the right side of my screen to the right, i seem to have no trouble. If i arrange them to have a screen extending the top of my laptop screen, and another extending the right side, many jumping window problems.

I've managed to get unxpected behavior on linux with XFCE desktop. When I place the second monitor to teh left or right of the main one things work OK, but if I place it either below or above, make a subpatch on the external monitor, close&reopen it, it pops up on the main monitor instead. I'm not sure if this is the same misbehavior I'm hearing about in windows and Mac or not... will keep fooling with it and see if I can learn anything.

Can either of you provide a an example patch and/or precise steps to make the problem occur?

This behavior comes from the pdtk_canvas_place_window proc in pdtk_canvas.tcl which, as others have noted, uses the declared width of the overall desktop aka the widths of the screens, but does not take into account their relative positioning. In digging further, it seems Tk provides ways to check the offset to the main screen via the winfo vroot* queries. I'll try some tests tomorrow and it's probably an easy fix...
