[Closed] full screen on second monitor
Posted: Sun Feb 09, 2020 7:16 pm
A long-standing question about behavior with View > "Full Screen" (as opposed to View > "Enter Full Screen") menu commands, GC 11.3, Mac OS, with two monitors (laptop screen and 27" external monitor).
If an image is displayed and active on the second monitor (27"), when choosing View > "Full Screen", the image then fills the lower left hand corner of that monitor only; the rest of that display remains visible and dynamic, with whatever else was previously visible. The first monitor (laptop screen) goes entirely black. If the image is on the laptop screen, View > "Full Screen" correctly throws it to fill the laptop screen and leaves the second monitor alone.
Behavior of the View > "Enter Full Screen" option appears to be correct on either screen: on whatever screen the active image is on, its window will grow to fill the whole monitor (with header and footer of window visible).
Is there a setting I have been missing to correct this behavior for View > "Full Screen"? I want to be able to toggle the full-screen, distraction-free view of an image on my second monitor. Image here:
Thanks.
