Moving Views to Second Monitor

[jaftwo]

I've noticed on v1.7.1.404 (may have happened on previous beta versions, but haven't checked) that when I try to move un-docked panels (views) to my second monitor, they want to "stick" to the left side of the main window (second monitor is to the left) and I have to release the left mouse button and grab the panel again to continue to move it left.  When it's in the second monitor, it stutters a lot and is difficult to place.  It didn't do the before the beta.

I tried Allegorithmic Substance Designer (now Adobe) and it works fine, so I'm not suspecting (yet) Win 10 or Nvidia drivers (all up-to-date.)  Affinity Photo beta 1.7.1.404 has the same problem.

Also, with many (maybe all) of the undocked windows such as  "History", if I left click and hold a border to resize, it will start to move but "drops" off the mouse cursor.  When I release the mouse button, the border pops to the spot I released the button, so it (app) knows where I tried to position the border.  Does a similar thing when I click and drag in the blank area of the title bar to re-position a window.

No one else has seen this?

jafto, I have noticed this as well with the Swatches panel particularly and reported a similar bug in beta when I was using an older build. I just haven't had time to update the topic since I rebuilt and figured I would update my video card first. The panels do seem "sticky" at times, but I would not say it is just when pulling between screens. It is just seems more noticeable with certain panels and depending on what is going on in the document. I have a mix-DPI environment and I think that contributes as well.

Thanks, I was beginning to think it was something wrong with my system.  I didn't notice the problem before the beta and during the beta didn't use both monitors since the beta didn't seem to save my screen setting.

It acts like the borders want to snap or stick to other windows (or merge with other windows.)

Hi jaftwo,

Are you able to capture the behaviour you're seeing on a video that you could attach please? I've tried on my machine and the only behaviour I'm seeing are panels snapping to the inside edges of the monitors. I'm not seeing any form of lag or behaviour that is forcing me to release my mouse and begin a new drag.
