Hi!
I use Photoshop on my primary monitor, and I have an additional monitor to my left. When using photoshop, the tool selection overflows to my left monitor instead of remaining on the primary monitor, and I cant find out how to disable this "overflow" setting:
This can become quite annoying, as you can imagine. I have googled different phrasing of this, and have come up blank. Thank you for any assistance!

What are your display settings?
Is your toolbar docked to the screen edge? I am guessing here, but I suspect it might be becuase your toolbar is floating.
When you get it right, save it with your default dual monitor workspace.

Thanks! The toolbar is docked, but you did give me an idea: Undocking the toolbar and moving it about 10px from the edge seems to solve the issue, kind of annoying that I can't dock it though. When I do dock it I get an "overflow" of blue onto the second monitor:

Check your display settings. (right click the Windows Desktop). It's not possible to move one screen away from another, but try dragging the second screen to see where it springs to.
It might be Photoshop glitching the display settings which could be a video driver issue, or even a Preference issue. If nothing else fixes it, try resetting Preferences. It never stops amazing me what issues can be fixed with a Preferences reset.
What version of Photoshop are you using? Try experimenting with these settings.
The bottom line is, and I am not 100% on this, if the toolbar is docked, I don't think it can overflow into the left hand screen.

I thought I'd posted a response but obviously not! Thanks for the assistance, I tried a bunch of combinations but still can't get it to stop overflowing. Luckily I don't use PS too often and so it isn't a detriment to my daily life aha!

I'm having the exact same issue. Reseted preferences, reinstalled Photoshop, tried everything. If the toolbar is docked, it overflow to the left screen. Started happening after 24.2 update.

I'm having the same issue, have you found a fix? I know I can just have my toolbar floating but it's super annoying that way. Been looking everywhere and this is the only post I can find with the same issue.

Having the same problem with Photshop v24.2 on Windows 11, haven't solved it yet aside from leaving the toolbar undocked.
