[LOGic] Misc. Stuff RE 2 MONITORS

[K0DAN]

The screen positions don't change, but #1 and #2 are switched in terms of 
"main" and "second". Apps on the desktop of each might or might not be 
moved, and so far it only appears the LOGIC (or pieces thereof) and HAPCAP 
will sometimes disappear.

Both monitors are 24" and set to same resolution so they are basically 
identical...you can't move anything off the screen and lose it, altho some 
stuff sure seems to go into limbo when the screens are switched. At least I 
found out how to find the lost stuff.

Sort of discourages  a lot of experimentation!

Only thing I can think of is that if you change the positional relationship
between the monitors (second one moved to  top from the side of main
monitor) some screens that were at the older position won't appear at the
new location.
