Livecode Windows (backdrop)

Hi

I have an iMac and two external monitors. Whenever I open Livecode, it always opens (and sticks) to the main window.

Is it possible to get it to open on the second or third monitor. Yes I can move the app and code windows but it the sticky backdrop and inspector / code menu that sticks to the main window

I have a Mac Mini running MacOS 11.5 beta 2 with 3 monitors and have never had these problems . . .

BUT suspect your 'problem' may like in your settings cache, and may have come about if you first used LiveCode on your
iMac rig with only the inbuilt monitor.

You could try deleting your LiveCode Preferences folder . . .

Not sure it will work as i only have 1 screen, but this works for multiple desktops on the 1 screen:
Either with the app closed or after moving the app to the screen you want to use, go the screen you want to use, right-click on the LC icon in the launcher, select Options -> Assign to -> this desktop

Hope that helps
