[font="Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]I have plugins that pop up their windows on a 2nd display even when that display is no longer connected (MixBus 9, Windows 11). [/font]
[font="Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]If I open the plugin with a 2nd display and move them to my main display they will open correctly until I restart mixbus. [/font]
[font="Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]This may be a hint to the problem: Once I move a plugin from display 2 to display 1, the window header flashes on display 2 before the whole plugin GUI appears in its new position on display 1. Also note that I cannot use the Windows Move feature when these do not appear when 2nd display is disconnected because the window does not exist in the taskbar view display window...it seems to fail creation instead of just being in the wrong place. This happened to my MIXER view once as well...I had to get a 2nd display to even use MixBus.[/font]
[font="Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]So whenever I need to use MixBus, I now need to tote around a 2nd display because I cannot get these plugins to open on the primary display and at times even the MIXER window is stuck in a non-existent display. [/font]
[font="Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Has anyone else encountered such a problem, or know of a way to get the plugins to display correctly? [/font]
[font="Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]I have tried many thing already: with and without Windows saving positions and with each quirk option in MixBus. I have tried changing screen resolution to try to force a recalculation in MixBus and saving the info. My PC uses an NVIDIA graphics card controlling both displays. I have tried opening the plugin with generic controls and moving that to the main display and then opining the normal GUI, still did not work. I have tried changing screen resolution. I have tried opening the project with the control key pressed to bypass plugins and then saved and reopened normally and still the same problem. I have plugin windows that just will not relocate. Other instances of the same plugins are fine. [/font]
