P: Ability to assign a second monitor with more than 3 monitors

Well I tried to get results by posting this directly to the "Report a problem" section. Tranberry merged my postings in here without any direct reply.

So the answer to my second question would be "yes, people from Adobe pay attention to postings to the boards."

But they still don't seem to care about the bug in their product.

Pathetic

Lightroom: Over 3 years and 3 major releases since problem was first reported, problem persists. Adobe continues to ignore new postings to user forums detailing that the problem hasn't been fixed.

Last response from Adobe was 3+ years ago with a "workaround" that fixes nothing. Does anyone from Adobe actually pay attention to these boards?

Hardware setup: 27" iMac running OSX 10.9.2 [Mavericks] and Lightroom 5.6, 2x NEC 27" outboard Thunderbolt monitors connected, one in landscape orientation (leftmost monitor, referred to as L in photos), and one in portrait orientation (rightmost monitor, R, with the iMac in the center, C).

I need to display the Secondary Display in the portrait-oriented monitor [see image 1R]

In order to accomplish this I have to drag and resize the window each time I launch Lightroom or wake the computer from sleep, because every time I run LR or wake the computer up, the Secondary Display reverts to sitting on top of the primary LR window, in the iMac display [see image 2C]

Selecting Window/Secondary Display/Full Screen puts the Secondary Display full screen on the {landscape} monitor [see image 3L] unless I unplug the landscape monitor from my system entirely at which point Full Screen places it where I need it to be. This is not the most reasonable solution for me for obvious reasons.

Please advise if there is a workaround for this, or if there is a solution in the works.

Thank you.

You can't get the secondary monitor window stay where you want it to stay. Why don't you try it yourself instead of talking to an engineer? These solutions of yours are nonsense. It seems nobody over there have even tried this with three or more monitors.

Still not fixed in Lightroom 6

Signed up just to say this has been years of irritation for me. Please just let us pick the monitor we want to use as a the secondary display, or at least stop resetting the position of the secondary display window when LR loses focus- absolutely ridiculous a pro app like this is still plagued with such a major issue.

It should be possible to choose a specific screen for the secondary screen (in German Sekundäranzeige) function in fullscreen mode.
Actualy Lightroom choose the output screen by itself.
This is useful with more than two screens on one computer.

the second monitor screen - which for me is a really important feature - is just not stable. Please fix this Adobe, or tell us how to keep it stable. My second display needs to be positioned manually, and then pops back on top of my editing screen, all the time. v v annoying, since it seems like such a little thing to solve, given all the awesome features already built into lightroom

So it's been at least 3 years and at least 2 major releases of LR and this problem continues exactly as it was first reported. Aside from a ham-handed workaround suggestion, no communication from Adobe has happened since. I don't know what other conclusion to draw than Adobe just doesn't care. User forum administrators helpfully merge similar discussion topics to this thread but it's cricket city for actual feedback from Adobe to the Proles. And I'm told this is the [preferred] method of drawing Adobe's attention to issues with their software. Yeah, right. User forums? More like "Users? Ignore 'em".

There are other RAW editing/database applications out there. While their feature sets may be less robust than LR, I'm willing to bet their developers actually listen to, and fix, bug reports from users instead of cavalierly ignoring them for years. The Great Adobe seems to have lost sight of this bit of conventional wisdom.

I guess I'll just add my voice here, this problem is very annoying. A maximize button on the windows would presumably be an easy solution. Me too!
