cmd.exe starts outside of display
Hi guys!
I created a blank session. I selected the Others button and I entered cmd.exe in the Run field.
When I start this session, the Windows commandline is started successfully, but after a few seconds, the window moves to Windows position -4, which is outside of the user display.
When you right-click the cmd window in the Windows taskbar and select Properties, you can see the current Windows position. When you right-click the cmd window in the taskbar and select the option Move, you can use the keyboard right cursor key to move the window to the right, back into your desktop view area. This looks like a bug to me, right?
Thanks for your help in advance!
Kind regards,
Eric van Loon
[EDIT] I just noticed it must have something to do with the fact that I'm using two monitors. When I edit the session and change the Display option from the default (Primary monitor) to Current monitor, the Windows commandline opens in the current Window (in my case the primary) and switches to my second monitor after a few seconds.

Hi,
Is it possible that your primary monitor is a the right?

Hi David!
No, left is primary and the RDM window is located on the primary display...
Thanks for your reply!

If you specifiy the secondary monitor, does it stay at the same location?

Hi David!
Sorry for my late reply.
If I specify secondary monitor, the window opens in the primary monitor and moves to the secondary monitor after one or two seconds.
So here's the full summary:
Configured monitor: the window opens in the primary monitor and moves to the secondary monitor after one or two seconds.
Current monitor: the window opens in the primary monitor and moves to the secondary monitor after one or two seconds.
Primary monitor: the window opens in the primary monitor and moves to the left outside of the display after one or two seconds.
Secondary monitor: the window opens in the primary monitor and moves to the secondary monitor after one or two seconds.
Main window is located in the primary display. If I move the main window to the secondary monitor, the results are exactingly the same.
Thanks again!
Kind regards,
