Second monitor and L display

[ralphlouzon]

Hi,

If I use a second monitor to display the Grid view (Shift-G) and developp on the main screen, as I press L twice to view the picture without distraction and go back to normal D view (L again) the grid view is moved to the main monitor and I have to move it back on the second display.

Thanks

I cannot reproduce this on my Mac. If I press 'L' twice while having the develop module on the main screen and the grid on my secondary screen, and then press L once again to go back to the normal view, then that is all what happens. Lightroom will go back to the normal view (so 'Lights out' is cancelled) as expected, the develop module is still on my main screen and the secondary screen still shows the grid on my second monitor. Do you have the secondary screen in full screen setting or not? I have seen some glitches if the seondary screen is used as a window on the second monitor.

You are right : as I put the secondary screen in full screen the problem disappears. I wish it would behave the same in the regular view, but it is ok...

Thank you!

Windows user here. I don't see the second window moving its position with Lights Out though I do recall seeing this as a bug in the past. 

If second window is set full screen, on secondary display: it behaves as expected with Lights Out.

But if the second window is set not fullscreen, then Lights Out dimming or blanking makes that whole thing temporarily disappear. Wherever it is located, and on whichever display screen.

If the main screen is set not fullscreen, and the second window is set fullscreen and on the same display, hence entirely covering main window - I got curious - weird results from Lights Out. An impractical use case! To extricate from this silly condition Shift+F11 returns the second window to its non-fullscreen mode, and then control can be regained.
