I explained that to your once, but you seems to have missed it :) This not a big problem when you screen setup is permanent, there could be some problems with fullscreen games but nothing critical, but as soon as you want you additional, sometimes off sometimes on, monitor to be left one everything goes bonkers. Because every time you connect/disconnect it display coordinates of you main (right) monitor change. And that means that all windows with pinned positions and all maximized windows starts jumping around, you can no longer force programs to start at certain position because that position is different depending on whenever second display is connected or not. -- Nick Koretsky (nick.koretsky@xxxxxxxxx) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting
