  1. Third Monitor Issue


    Hi Everyone,


    I'm having an issue with my third monitor just recently installed. The issue is that when I am playing a game on display 1 whatever I have running on display 3 will move over to display 1 if I tab out of the game, or click off of display 1 at all.


    Here is that configuration:

    There are two workarounds that I have found, but are both pretty inconvenient and I would rather this just work as intended.


    Keep in mind that in both of these work-arounds the psychical displays are not moving just in the software.


    In this orientation we move display 3 to the left of display 2. This works and it holds the apps on the correct displays but feels clunky because you have to move your mouse far left to get to the display on your right.

    This orientation works as well, but again feels clunky because it's just not as intuitive to have to move half way up or down the monitor with your mouse to get to the one you are wanting to go to. Note, if you move display 3 any further down than this the apps on display 3 will move to display 1 once you tab out of a game that you are playing on display 1.

    Any Ideas or solutions anyone might have for this issue?


    All three monitors are being powered by an AMD RX 5700 XT GPU. All plugged into display port slots displays 1 and 3 are using HDMI to display port adapters.


    Thanks!

    :)
