Two monitors - undocking the console

[plithner]

Hi!

Since a few months back I have a problem with my 2-screen setup.  I don't know if it changed when I installed a new release, or if it was something stupid I did.

Before, whenever I started a project, it would place all the windows exactly like they were placed when I saved/quit last time, In my case, I always keep the console undocked, and placed in full screen on my second monitor.

Now, what happens when a start a project, is that the console begins to display on the second monitor for a second or two, then disappears and docks at the bottom of monitor one (in hidden mode).

Does anyone have any idea what I could do to fix?

Btw, same thing happens with templates. In other words: if I save a template with the console undocked and displayed on monitor two, it will still be docked and hidden if I create a new project with that template.

Thanks in advance!

I seem to recall a similar discussion on this recently.

OK. Do you remeber the topic? Can't seem to find it.

Something to do with Screenset being set to locked?

Screen repainting on startup may suggest a workspace being applied.

I looked and there are a few threads related to Workspaces and Screensets, but I specifically remembered one post that talked about something coming up initially and then changing after a few seconds.  I have not been able to find that post/thread.  Not 100% sure, but where I go in the direction of creating personalized Workspaces, I think one solution offered to have the last visual arrangement  come up automatically was to use "None" for the last Workspace.  Not 100% sure if that was the solution, though.

Yes, workspace it was. I'm not sure why, but when I create custome workspace it does not play well with two monitors. Thanks people!
