RC4: Dual Monitor Support buggy?

hi there

i tested the new dual monitor support but it doesn't work like expected (at least for me)

the "dual monitor, stretch over all monitors" options works
but the second option to view images fullscreen on my secondary display doesn't.
the text in the brackets is cutt off and it starts with "Brows..."
moving the browser on my secondary display, maximizing it there and trying to display an image fullscreen still results in display the pic fullscreen und my primary display. am i doing something wrong?

hope you can fix this one or tell me how to get it working

keep up the good work :)

Put Xnview with browser on primary monitor, select a thumbnail, popup menu and fullscreen. Is like that you have tried?

i just checked this with a friend of mine.
with his setup the feature is working whether he uses two monitors or one monitor + tv-out (like i do).

driver settings seems to be the same too

weird :|


edit: no streching enabled. didn't change anything since extracting the .zip

GEEEEEEEEEEE!

figured it out...
the secondary display NEEDS to be on the RIGHT side of your primary display (at windows display settings)

if you put it on the left side it won't work (at least with my setup)
hope this helps you

just installed the latest nvidia drivers (77.13) to see if they solve this issue but they don't.

so the problem persists:
secondary display on the right > everything's working fine
secondary display on the left > picture fullscreens on primary
strech is working correctly on both
