Multiple monitor UI bugs in CC 2014/Mavericks

I have two new bugs that I'm seeing since the 2014 update. I'm running 10.9.4, and use two monitors, one for my images, and another for all of my palettes (less, of course, my beloved custom panel created in the now deprecated Configurator).
When I click on a layer and try to adjust it's opacity, the slider to adjust opacity appears in the appropriate place . . . but on the wrong monitor. It looks like it is placing it exactly under the entry box, but is confused as to which monitor the entry box and it's corresponding layers palette is displayed on. It still functions correctly, as do the arrow keys in the entry box, but it is a little disconcerting. This did not happen with CC 2013 (sic).
The other one is just a weird quirk, that every time I save, a handful of my palettes seem to quiver while the save is happening. It is always the history palette, and usually a few others. Also a new behavior.

I am having the same exact issue! My panels are on my right screen and my application on my left. When I go to the transparencies, typefaces, tint etc, those slider bars show up on the left screen instead of under its panel on the right screen. If you find a fix, please let me know.

Mavericks with Multiple Monitors?

I keep my tool pallets arranged on my second monitor. Ever since I upgraded to Mavericks Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator all lost my workspace settings whenever the monitors go to sleep. I can restore everything by chooseing Reset Workspace, but this is getting real old. Usually after waking up the monitors, the palettes either all show up in my main monitor or almost completely off screen on my second monitor?
Am I the only one having this problem?
Only other thing I have noticed wierd in CC since moving to Mavericks several weeks ago is that Photoshop sometimes switches to the Color-Wheel cursor (but not spinning) at times regardless of which tool is selected - eventually it will switch back, but have not identified what causes it to restore itself.

Fwiw, I think this is expected behavior. Aperture is set to use multiple monitors in the same (OS determined) "Space". In Mountain Lion, you could not show two spaces at the same time. In Mavericks you can assign a monitor to a space (this is the default). But if you want an app to use both monitors, you have to turn off this feature.
As I see it (actually, I don't -- I haven't upgraded to the big wave), the hierarchy was:
Space(s)
Monitors (all in same Space at any given time)
Apps
and now it is (by default):
Monitor(s)
Space(s) (one per monitor)
Apps.
What you are asking is to have each Monitor display a Space, and have an app (Aperture) run in two Spaces at the same time. That might be asking too much.

OS X Maverick Multi Display Support for grouping multiple monitors into one display?

Will the new Mac Pro be capable of grouping multiple monitors into one large display? Similar to AMD Eyefinity for the purpose of gaming.

The current Mac Pro, or any Mac released since 1987 that can support multiple displays can ALREADY support combining all attached displays into one Extended Desktop, onto which you can open the gaming window and game across multiple displays. It is built into the System Software.

High PPI Support Multiple Monitors: How it comes that Remote Desktop implements the hight PPI support very well and win 8.1 doesnt?

http://skovalev.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/RemoteDesktop-HighPPI-Perfect.png
Hello all: i am using an High PPI Monitors from Dell XPS15 (3600x1800) and a Normal FullHD above it. The FullHD monitor is an external device and is set up as the primary device. Scaling is set to per Monitor DPI.
Now the Question: how it comes, that my RemoteDesktop on the secondary (internal) screen has almost perfect implementation for this????
BUT i am am talking only about the RemoteDekstopManager, normal one does not works with high ppi in this way... Also ModernUI has no problems with scaling
http://skovalev.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Firfox-and-Resolution-RemoteDesktop.png
NOTE that the resolution on the remote desktop is set to 1600x900 and there are NO scaling problems even on the 3200x1800 monitor!
On both picutures you find the dell monitor on the bottom and the scaled original windows explorer/firefox on the bottom right. See how blurry it is? I really breaks my eyes :(
I hope Microsoft can finally fix the high PPI Monitors issue, since the solutions seems to be already implemented

No, i mean the Scaling Support.
If you use multiple monitor, in windows 8.1 you can scale per monitor. If you use this option with a High PPI monitor, like ultra HD or 4K, the image on the monitors with other PPI than the main monitors appears fuzzy and blury.
But there are also scaling problems even if you use only single monitor. This article blog describes it pretty good:
http://www.hanselman.com/blog/LivingAHighDPIDesktopLifestyleCanBePainful.aspx
By the way there are lot article like this describing the scaling problems, not only by users but also by professinals and IT magazines...
BUT here it comes: watch @ my screenshots. If the remote desktops resolution is 1800x900 and the native resolution is 3600x1800, there are no scaling problems! HOW? So like you can see on my screenshots a native application on my monitor appears fuzzy while
the same application runnin of the remote desktop has clear type!
That means for me, that windows HAS the possibility to scale clearly, but somehow this feature is only supported by RDCM...

[Non IE Regression] Support for full screen mode with multiple monitors

This seems to be a regression with Flash Player v11.2.202.x (for all other browsers).
With Internet Explorer it is still working.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/890/cpsid_89050.html
== Support for full screen mode with multiple monitors ==
Full screen content will remain in full-screen on secondary monitors, allowing users to watch full-screen content while working on another display.
Tested on Windows 7 x64 SP1 with:
- Internet Explorer 9
- Firefox Release, Beta, Aurora, Nightly
- Opera 12 build 1116
In bugbase.adobe.com I cannot choose v11.2.x

Multiple monitor DPI Issues (Desktop not Metro)

Hi,
I have a Lenovo Yoga 2 pro with Win 8.1, which has an ultra high resolution (3,200X1,800) and I am using it with a Targus docking station. In order to see things, I have the custom DPI scaling set at 250%. Here is the problem, when i use the docking
station with an external monitor that has a maximum of 1900X1200, Metro looks nice, but anything on the desktop (office and other desktop only programs), everything is HUGE and unusable. If I try to set DPI scaling for multiple monitors, I can no longer
use my custom 250% DPI for the Lenovo, instead, I am given a slider that makes the external monitor look nice, but when the laptop is removed, it is so small that I'd need a magnifying glass to see. If I want to use a docking station, I have to change
the DPI scaling every time I switch between being docked and as a standalone, which requires me to go through all of the steps to switch and then log out and log back in. Is there a way to have custom DPIs for each monitor? I think this will only
become a bigger problem as more companies develop higher resolution devices.
Thanks,
Dean

Same issue here. I have looked on a lot of forums, and there are a lot of people who just don't understand the issue - offering completely irrelevant advice!
As with a number of others on this thread, I have a Surface Pro 3... fantastic machine, and beautiful display. But connect my external 1080x1920 24" display, and everything is too large on the external... so as with everyone else, I have to set the
Change the size of all items option in display settings, set it to the smallest value, then log out, and log back in. That fixes the external display, but...
Having to make this setting change every time I connect or disconnect to an external monitor is annoying enough... but having to log out, and then log back in to see the change is ridiculous!
But what REALLY annoys me is that I like to use extended display mode - I love to work with two monitors - my lapyop and external display side by side. With the scaling set to lowest, so that the external display looks correct, the Surface Pro 3 screen is
just unusable - its too small, and gives me a headache trying to use it. It makes me feel like an old man complaining that "owwww its too small for my old eyes!".
I realise that this is a Windows issue - but heck, if the Surface Pro 3 is really the tablet to replace my laptop, this flaw in Windows makes the SP3 a NON laptop replacement. Using dual monitor setups with my portable is essential to how I work.
I almost can't believe that in 2014 Windows still does not have proper per monitor PPI settings. Technology has landed a probe on a bloody comet for crying out loud - why can't Windows have proper UI scaling per monitor??!!
What really scares me is that I dont think this is a simple fix for MS, and it may be some time before we see this resolved... but here's hoping Microsoft are already working on s solution.
I'd like to see a Microsoft representative give us an official update on this issue... Hello? Are you out there?

[SOLVED]Looking for a tiling manager which supports multiple monitors

I use musca and I absolutely have no problems with it other than this :
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 04#p774104
I also tried emailing the musca distribution list but it bounced, so I am not sure how actively it is being maintained.
So I am on the lookout for a new tiling window manager. I know Xmonad supports multiple monitors, but I do not know haskell and I was hoping to find something else as well. Xmonad is also not a manual tiler.
So let me know if anyone of you knows of a tiler that has the above support.
EDIT : I have already looked at the Comparison of Tiling Window Managers over at the wiki. Infact I was the one who added Musca's entry in that table.

"i3 was created because wmii, our favorite window manager at the time, didn't provide some features we wanted (multi-monitor done right, for example), had some bugs, didn't progress since quite some time and wasn't easy to hack at all (source code comments/documentation completely lacking). Still, we think the wmii developers and contributors did a great job. Thank you for inspiring us to create i3. "
To change the border of the current client, you can use bn to use the normal border (including window title), bp to use a 1-pixel border (no window title) and bb to make the client borderless. There is also bt which will toggle the different border styles.
Examples:
bindsym Mod1+t bn
bindsym Mod1+y bp
bindsym Mod1+u bb
or put in your config file
new_window bb

Auto-Detect Screen Resolution Does Not Work Across Multiple Monitors With Different Resolutions

Hi,
The Acrobat Pro DC (15.007.20033.2203) auto-detect screen resolution feature does not work with multiple monitors at different resolutions. Acrobat looks fine on my hidpi primary laptop display (Razr 14" 2014) but is completely unusable if I drag or extend the application to a standard HD resolution secondary monitor. Dragging Acrobat from my primary desktop display to the secondary display causes the UI elements to become 2x as large as they should be and makes Acrobat unusable.
Is there a way to make Acrobat auto-detect the display that it is currently on?
Thanks!
-Donald

To prevent it from happing again, you can
1. go to the Mouse preference and turn off the scroll zoom feature.
2. go to the Universal Access preference and disable the zoom features.

XFCE window buttons (tasklist) and multiple monitors

I have dual monitors and each has their own xfce panel with its own set of window buttons. The window buttons have an option to display windows from all monitors, which I don't want, so I deselected it. The only problem is both of the window buttons display the window buttons from the first monitor and not the second. How can I rectify this.

Hi, Rob, Andrew Wolfe here, now working at Interactive Data Corporation in Bedford MA.
I filed some bugs or ERs on this some months ago from Oracle. With very large or multiple monitors, there is a fundamental UI problem with the Microsoft-originated "Multiple-Document Interface" model in which an application's document windows are all enclosed within a main backdrop window.
As a longtime Mac user I have always been amazed that most Windows users work with a single document maximized in a single application window that is maximized over the whole screen. That is, Windows users actually don't use windowing; they use something more like screen swapping. JDeveloper (who knows maybe it's Swing too) buys into this big time by orienting the entire UI around the main JDeveloper window. The tabs and tab groups don't help this at all -- especially given that they always try to dock on you and maximize.
Now Windows UIs have alway squandered screen space -- I'm sorry, does everything really have to have three levels of bulky tool bars? -- and so when displays were smaller (800x600 or less) this way of working made sense. In fact, Windows wastes enough space to exhaust a 1024x768 monitor on a single window.
But when you get any larger than 1024x768, or when you add an additional monitor, that background MDI window is a complete waste, and document windows/tab groups docking and maximizing does not good whatever.
PLEASE allow JDeveloper to run without this backdrop window. Let users move and size tab groups however they like. Preferably this would be a user preference, so I don't have to be CTRL-dragging all the time.
Best,
Andrew

Can you have multiple users working off the same Mac pro at the same time with multiple monitors but doing different things?

I'm buying desktops for a start up company and was wondering if I could purchase a single Mac Pro and run multiple monitors to allow multiple users to work on the computer at the same time. These users would be doing different tasks but I would hope to accomplish that on a single desktop. I know that screen sharing is possible but with only one user controlling both of the screens. Thanks in advance, sorry for my apple ignorance!

A lot of companies are buying or leasing laptops to be used at the office by day, and carried home at night.
Some companies are doing "Bring your own device". Bring a device to receive email -- computer/smartphone/tablet you already have, or have an allowance to buy one for your use.
If Capital is short (and when is it not) leasing computers, to be turned in a few years, can be a huge savings because the cost is expensed as incurred. The alternative is laying out cash today, but not being able to expense the cost this year. Instead, the computer expense must be recovered over their useful life (often five years) through depreciation.

You cannot shadow a session with multiple monitors enabled in Windows Server 2008 R2

Searching through the forums (and according to KB2484290) it appears that there is no solution to this problem. We are rolling out thin clients that are using dual monitors exclusively and we were very surprised to find out that we couldn't shadow
sessions with dual monitors (which to us means that we can't shadow ANY sessions). This now completely changes our approach to managing these devices.
We are running Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 with Remote Desktop Services installed. The thin clients are running Windows Embedded Standard 7 with the latest updates / RDP client. All steps have been followed to ensure that the apropriate settings and
permissions have been set up to allow access into the session.
We tested by unchecking the RDP setting “use all my monitors for the remote session”, with that setting disabled shadowing worked
Questions:
1. KB2484290 is from Dec 2010 - It's now April 2012, is there a workaround / hotfix for this issue that will allow us to shadow sessions using the native Microsoft tools?
2. Are there any recommended alternatives (software)? Free/Paid - doesn't matter we just need something that will work. I'm sure there are a few options out there but I am looking for suggestions for what people have used in the past that worked
best for them to help us narrow down the choices.

Hi,
In my experience, so far, the workaround is Remote Assistance, Remote Assistance supports multiple monitors, and is the presently recommended solution if you need this functionality. Remote Assistance is a Windows Server Feature that must be explicitly installed
on Windows Server 2008 R2; it is already installed with the client versions of the operating system.

As far as I know, there are some third-party tools can be used as the solution, such as Teamviewer, ISL Online, etc.

How to set up multiple monitors

I got a 27" 3.1 gz Imac for Christmas. I need to run multiple monitors on it.
#1 How many monitors will it support?
#2 How do I hook them up to the Imac?
#3 What hardware do I need in order to do this?
Phillip

This link is talking about using the Imac as a display for another computer. So basically, this article is telling me how I can use my Imac as a display monitor. That is not what I am trying to do.
I want to use multiple monitors on this Imac.

Wanting to use multiple monitors on HP hpe210Y w-DVI-I and HDMI. Audio: 5.1 Surround

I have a HP Elite hpe210y with only two outputs of which are: 1) DVI-I and 2) HDMI. My situation is that I have 2 new HP Monitors with VGA Cables. I have an adapter for DVI-I to VGA and also VGA to Dual VGA. I do NOT want the monitors to work as Duplicates however. I want the second monitor to be an extension. I am also interested in getting even 2 more monitors in teh near future for a total of 4.
Is there some way I can get two monitors to work off one DVI-I ?
Will I be able to upgrade to up to 4 monitors?
Is there a part I need?
Wanted to mention that my OS is Win7 Home Premium 64 bit. I use IE9, Chrome and Firefox
I would of never bought this from Best Buy if I had known in advance that there was just the one regular output. I see they have one called a Phoenix which I may look into.
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

>Is there some way I can get two monitors to work off one DVI-I ?
I've not yet seen a solution for that.
You can use a hdmi2vga adapter for the second port.
>Will I be able to upgrade to up to 4 monitors?
>Is there a part I need?
you can try one of these:
http://www.evga.com/products/pdf/100-U2-UV19-TR.pdf
http://www.amazon.com/Kensington-Universal-Multi-Display-Adapter-Black/dp/B002F9NSMQ/ref=pd_cp_e_1
http://aluratek.com/usb-2-0-high-resolution-vga-adapter
They will use your current graphics device.
If you are looking for a new solution - I've read about DisplayPort version 1.2 that can do 'daisy-chain connection' with multiple monitors. But this you have to 'google' yourself.

Can i have multiple monitor with my mac mini ?

Can i have multiple monitor with my mac mini like i do with my PC ? 2 differents screens.. not mirror.

There's lots of Mac Mini models since 2006 or so. What do you have?
Most support two monitors but how you do it is different depending on model.
Put this phrase into Google
dual monitors, mac mini
and you'll come up with the solution needed based on which MM you have.

VMware Fusion question - Multiple Monitors

I apologize if this is in the wrong area, but I am desperate for some help. I have also posted this same question in the VMware communities but I have not had any luck with anyone responding yet.
It seems that I am having an issue with my virtual machine (windows XP) viewing in full screen or unity across my multiple monitor setup on my Mac Pro. Every time I go to view in full screen or unity I get a VMware popup warning/error that reads:
The virtual machine "Windows XP Professional" is configured for a smaller display size than the one your Mac is currently using. VMware Fusion needs to shut down your virtual machine to enable support for your Mac's display size in Full Screen. Do you want to shut down this virtual machine now?
I have two options, one to shut down, or one to go into full screen. If I go into full screen, full screen works with the correct resolution and everything looks great except its only in the one monitor (not the multiple monitor). If I shut down and restart the virtual machine and try to go to full screen I get the same error.
The VMware tools have been installed and I did go to the view, use all displays in full screen opiton.
My current setup is a mac pro with 3 monitors using 2 NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT Video Cards.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

I found a link to a VMWare Knowledge Base entry about specifying video ram in Fusion 1. Maybe it is still true.
