I have an issue where my Softplan window resizes dramatically when moving from one monitor to another, and am wondering if anyone else has experianced this. I am not sure just when this issue started. I have a laptop and 2 27" 4k monitors. When I start to slide it over it expands to beyond the edges of the monitors and it is difficult to move it to and maximize it on the desired monitor. Tech support says it is a windows issue and I am just wondering if anyone has a solution.

I had some issues early on with an external monitor. It turned out to be the resolution I was using. I had to set it down low like, 1000x1200 or something.

Have you tried downsizing the maximize button before dragging to the other monitor?

I tried numerous things with the maximize button. It looks like I got it resolved. I set my laptop to be the main screen and messed around with the scaling in the Nvidia control panel. I don't know what is actually different in those settings now, but it seems to be working.

I have a 17.3 Acer laptop, and 2 24" Acer LED's, there is something to do with matching or not, the resolutions, meaning screens may have to match laptop, if not that, then they should be set to "their own native" resolution, however, i think it is done on the "laptop setting side" as I've never had to re-set any places Monitor when doing presentations in home or at the conference area where I often meet, and it's a 80" plasma. Not sure if this helps, but Google the issue, maybe add your laptop basic info, you find your answer just as I did mine.
