Issue with Lightroom Window on External Display

Hi, I’m having an issue.
My setup includes a MacBook Pro 16" (2023) running macOS Sequoia 15.6 and an Apple Studio Display.

 

When I use Lightroom on the Studio Display, it keeps jumping back to my MacBook screen, and the window often resizes itself or behaves glitchily. This has been happening ever since I started using an external display.

The app window sometimes shrinks unexpectedly or becomes unstable.
Is there any way to fix this?

Thanks in advance for your help!

(edited my post because I might have been answering the wrong question)

 

Is this about the main application window, not the Secondary Display window?

I’ve just replied to the comment above.
Also sharing an example of how Lightroom appears when the glitch happens.

How did you setup that display in MacOS System Settings? Here's how I have setup the same MBP with two displays. I have turned off the option to treat each display as a separate space, and the main display has the menu bar. Lightroom runs on the main display without any glitches.
