Proofing bug with multiple monitors (InDesign & Acrobat on Mac)

Software:
InDesign CS3 5.0.3 and Acrobat Professional 8.1.2 (Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.4)
Both application does not compensate the onscreen colors when moving document windows to another screen.
I have three monitors: Eizo ColorEdge CG220, 30-inch Apple Cinema Display and 17-inch Apple Studio Display.
The 30-inch Apple Cinema Display is my default monitor (with the menubar). But the Eizo ColorEdge is my color-proofing screen. To get correct onscreen colors on the ColorEdge I have to set it as the default monitor in System Settings. That's a hassle. I hope this bug will be fixed.
Photoshop handles this perfectly.

AlFerrari,
My Mac Pro has two graphics card. The 30-inch uses the first one, and the Eizo and 17-inch shares the second card. The graphic cards are identical.
Gernot,
Photoshop refreshes the colors when releasing the mouse button after dragging a window from another screen. Acrobat and InDesign does not.

[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

Please vote for it If you have the same problem:

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.

Scheduled Report - Bug with Multiple Selection LOV parameter

Problem:
I have a scheduled report with a parameter that has it's "Multiple Selection" checkbox checked. I schedule the report with multiple values selected. When I receive the report via email, the report ran as if I only selected one LOV value instead of multiple values.
Facts:
1) Enterprise version 10.1.3.2.1
2) When you run the report manually with multiple values selected in the LOV, it runs great with the correct dataset.
3) This scheduled report does not have a Data Template.
James
P.S. - I searched this forum for other treads on this issue. I didn't find any. Sorry if this is a duplicate.

I have this same problem, too.
When I select multiple parameters on the "View" screen for a given report, everything works fine.
When I schedule it, however, only the last parameter I clicked on (regardless of whether a select a range or multiple individual values) is passed to the query. The other selections I make are ignored.
What gives? Am I doing something wrong? Is this a bug? Is there a workaround?

How do you center dialogs with multiple monitors. code, best practices

My existing code will take the pixel size of the java app, and using the size of the dialog, it will center dialogs perfectly in the center of the application. This is great for single monitors, but when multiple monitors are introduced it is a problem. With dual monitor, the dialog is split in half between the two monitors.
I should be able to determine which pixel/frame initiated the user's action; and then i am hoping to get some code or direction on:
1. how to determine which monitor the user initiated the action on (knowing the px or frame location, how would i do this)
2. how to center dialog on that monitor
if possible, it would be appreciated if you can provide some code; i cant find anything on determing pixel size of monitors and this seems to be a little bit of a project to do from scratch. open source, 3rd party, insight, guidance, all is appreciated. thanks !

This code may help:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class OptionPaneDemo {
    ActionListener al = new ActionListener() {
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
            Component comp = (Component) evt.getSource();
            JFrame f = (JFrame) SwingUtilities.windowForComponent(comp);
            showDialogInUpperRightCorner(f);
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable(){
            public void run() {
                new OptionPaneDemo().go();
    void go() {
        GraphicsEnvironment ge = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
        for(GraphicsDevice gd: ge.getScreenDevices()) {
            JButton showDialogButton = new JButton("show the dialog");
            showDialogButton.addActionListener(al);
            JFrame f = new JFrame(gd.getDefaultConfiguration());
            f.getContentPane().add(showDialogButton, BorderLayout.NORTH);
            f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
            f.pack();
            centerWindow(f);
            f.setVisible(true);
    void centerWindow(Window w) {
        Rectangle windowBounds = w.getBounds();
        GraphicsConfiguration gc = w.getGraphicsConfiguration();
        Rectangle screenBounds = gc.getBounds();
        int x = screenBounds.x + (screenBounds.width - windowBounds.width)/2;
        int y = screenBounds.y + (screenBounds.height - windowBounds.height)/2;
        w.setLocation(x, y);
    void showDialogInUpperRightCorner(JFrame f) {
        JOptionPane pane = new JOptionPane("Hello, world!");
        JDialog dialog = pane.createDialog(f, "title");
        Rectangle dialogBounds = dialog.getBounds();
        GraphicsConfiguration gc = dialog.getGraphicsConfiguration();
        Rectangle screenBounds = gc.getBounds();
        //int x = screenBounds.x + screenBounds.width - dialogBounds.width;
        //int y = screenBounds.y == 0 ? 1 : screenBounds.y;
        int x = screenBounds.x;
        int y = screenBounds.y + screenBounds.height - dialogBounds.height-1;
        System.out.format("(%d,%d)%n", x, y);
        dialog.setLocation(x, y);
        dialog.setVisible(true);

How can use full app with multiple monitor

in Lion and Mountain Lion
when i use Multiple Monitors and move any app in full-screen mode
its become in one monitor and other monitor become blank
but it seems usefull that other monitor show another app in fullscreen mode
how can i do this ?
and sorry for my bad english!!

Sorry to say, but it is designed to work that way.
The only way around it that I know of is, not to use full-screen but just fill the screen with the application that you are using.

Bizarre crashing with Multiple Monitors in Win 7 64-bit.

I am running InDesign CS 4.0.2 ME (4.0.4 has yet to be released) with 4 monitors running on 2 nvidia cards. I am having the most bizarre behaviour. After rebooting the computer, ID crashes on starting. The only way to get it to work is to first disable the second card, then it loads fine, the reenable the second card. ID will open and close without any problem until I reboot again!
This is really strange.
I used to have a similar problem on Vista where if ID was maximised on start it wouldn't load so I had to make the preference be that it didn't open full screen (1920 x 1200) and then it would work.
It seems that Adobe would prefer us all to work on XP with a 17" monitor.
On a similar front, in 64-bit Windows 7, the ID icon doesn't show. It's just a blank icon. The book icon works, as does, .idml etc., but an .indd simply doesn't appear in purple. This is unique to 64-bit Win 7, because under 32-bit it works fine.
Most bizarre and quite irritating!

All I can tell you is that I don't see this issue with the standard version of InDesign.
It sounds to me like a video card/driver issue and that's where I'd be concentrating my efforts.

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.

Interface Bug with 2 monitors in LP8

I use 2 monitors tiled vertically to display a large track layout - in 7.2 I'd have to open the screenset and drag the window across to the 2nd screen - once I did this it would stay in place (across the 2 monitors)
I LP 8 I tried the same thing - only when I select a track on the 1st montor the display reverts and redraws the window to only ONE screen - so for now v. 8 is useless -
Also - I find the legibility is MUCH WORSE with this haze of grey over everything - Looks Like I'll be hanging on to my xs usb keys for a while---
back to work, back to 7.2

I work with 2 monitors all the time - with very large arrangements it's a huge boon. Are you saying if for example you have a linked matrix editor open on the 2nd screen every time you change tracks it shhots onto screen 1?
This would be a disaster for my use of Logic so I hope this isn't the case or if it is it's a soon to be fixed bug!

Flash with multiple monitors

Hello,
I have an issue with the Flash projector and multiple
monitors.
I develop an application with .exe file that run on a
multiple monitors enviroments, when I try to get a full screen
(with CTRL + F or fscommand("fullscreen", "true")) the display goes
only to the primary screen.
The only thing that work is to maximize the application but I
get the menu and the windows bar and button.
Do anyone have an idea how to fix it??
Thank you in advance.
Javier.

Thank you Russ,
What I do is to Extend the Windows desktop to both monitors
and then I open the flash project and drag and drop to the second
monitor, but when I full screen the project is only show on the
primary monitor.
Regards.

Help with multiple monitors

Hi Guys,
I've run in to a bit of an issue with my MP. I run three monitors off two GT120 cards. They work great in OSX and did work fine in Win7. We've just moved and when Ifired up the mac again at the new place the three monitors work fine in OSX still but when I bootcamp in to Win7 it will only work with one monitor if I power up the other two it either rearranges the screens around of blanks them all so that I end up with a black screen that I can move the mouse pointer around on and the other screens say they have no input and switch off. Occasionally win7 shuts down completely!
It's got me baffled.......I don't know windows that well to start rummaging around too much and OSX is working fine so the hardware is OK. HELP!!
Cheers
Mike
P.S. Everything is up to date.............in fact nothing has changed since the whole set-up was moved to the new house.

I think I have it worked out. I put the Kona card in "input passthrough" mode and all seems to work just fine. I had it in MacIntosh desktop and that was causing my problem
If any other suggestions I am sure open to them.
Thanks
John

How can use Print and Page Setup Dialogs with multiple monitors?

It seems the designers of the printing API forgot to include multiple monitor support.
According to the API, a way to popup a print dialog is done via this manner;
1) PrinterJob.getPrinterJob().printDialog()
or
2)PrinterJob.getPrinterJob().printDialog(PrintRequestAttributeSet atts)
Option (1) brings up the native print dialog and hangs the event thread (another problem, for later i guess) and (2) brings up the Swing dialog which at least doesn't hang the event thread. And while somewhat limited is not a bad print dialog.
The problem is that there is no way to pass a GraphicsConfiguration object, so that the print dialog can know where to popup (what monitor).
So looking around, we have this newer 1.4 method
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/javax/print/ServiceUI.html
public static PrintService printDialog(GraphicsConfiguration gc,
int x,
int y,
PrintService[] services,
PrintService defaultService,
DocFlavor flavor,
PrintRequestAttributeSet attributes) throws HeadlessException
So now this method has a way to pass a graphicsconfiguration, so it should know what monitor to create the dialog in.
But this method is such a mess to setup. When I use it, it lists the printers but doesn't select the user's default printer.
But more problematecally is that there is no PAGE SETUP dialog equivalent to this method! So I would have a print dialog that pops up in the right place, but page setup on default monitor! ARGH!!!
The code for ServiceUI has a pageDialog() method but it's commented out for "future release". What a mess.
Is there any way to solve this? To have pageDialog and printDialog on a given monitor?

Launch Pad bug with Multi-Monitors in Mavericks...

I noticed something while trying to use a two monitor setup with Mavericks 10.9. After moving from the primary laptop monitor to the secondary monitor, I noticed that after clicking in the screen to make it the active screen that the LaunchPad gesture would not work. From there I proceeded to drag the pointer down to access the Dock. I noticed after touching the Dock in the secondary monitor, then LaunchPad gesture would work. If I try the LaunchPad gesture before touching the dock, the system brings up LaunchPad in the screen of the previously active monitor. I noticed the same senario when moving from the secondary monitor back to the primary monitor. So, in a nut shell:
1.) When moving from one active monitor screen to another, click in the inactive screen to make it the active screen.
2.) Move pointer to the Dock (wait for Dock to rise).
3.) After the first two steps, THEN the LaunchPad gesture can be used in the now active monitor.
Has anyone else noticed this? Now a big deal but it is an annoyance I cannot believe no one else has seen.

Thank you! Your solution worked for me.
It seems to be a bug in multimonitors.

WLCS 3.5 Bug with Multiple/Restricted Properties?

Hi,
I think I have come across a bug: I have created a property set that
holds (among others)
a property of type integer / Multiple / Restricted. I have added allowed
values 1-9.
So far, everything is fine. I can set and retrieve these properties in
my servlet by calling
setProperty(scope, propertyName, arrayList) where arrayList is a
java.util.ArrayList
containing java.lang.Long. I can retrieve values with getProperty(scope,
propertyName)
and get an ArrayList back. I can also see the selected properties under
localhost:7501/tools/...
What I cannot do, and what I think is a bug, is: I can't set the
property to an empty
ArrayList. If I try that in my servlet, or if I try to de-select all the
values in the administration
console, I get an Exception:
com.beasys.commerce.foundation.exception.SystemException : Unexpected
error in EntityPropertyManager while setting property; check that value
is valid if property is restricted
So how can I set the property to an empty value? Calling setProperty
with a null value
doesn't work either.
Bye,
Peter

Peter,
In your JSPs try <um:removeProperty>.
Let us know if that works for you...
