Default monitor setting not applying

I have a 15' laptop and two 23' monitors of exactly the same model and brand. The primary display is set to my laptop's screen.

I normally run RDM on either of the two 23' monitors and I have the "Default monitor" setting set to "Current monitor".





All my RDP sessions use "smart sizing"








The problem is that every time I run RDM, it launches on my laptop's screen. I want RDM to always open on my 23' monitor (either of them). If I have RDM running on a 23' screen and I undock one of the session tabs, it will always undock to my laptop's screen. I have to drag to my other 23' screen every time and it gets annoying.



2nd issue:

I have RDM configured to open about 8 RDP sessions via Playlist Management. Because RDM always opens on my laptop's screen, the 8 sessions would size the display to fit on my laptop's. If I move RDM to my 23' monitor, the sessions would still look the same size and would not adjust to scale/fit on my larger screen. I would have to reconnect the sessions so they size correctly.

Now, let's say I open RDM on a 23' monitor and all my sessions are sized correctly to fit on the 23' display. Because I use multi-tab rows in RDM, this means if I have 20~30 sessions opened, the size will look smaller and smaller (as the multi-tab rows will eat up the display). See highlighted yellow area in screenshot below.

Because of this, I would undock my tab and bring it to my other 23' monitor. I would then have to right click on the undocked tab and reconnect, so the display will re-adjust to fit the full size correctly. Is there a better way to do this?






I've tried using Smart Reconnect to fix this issue. While it works, it's very annoying. If I undock a session and move it to a 23' monitor, it will scale to e.g. 1920x1080. That is fine. But if I then move the undocked tab (already adjusted) to a different 23' monitor, the resolution is the same, however it will automatically reconnect again and there will always be a 1~2 second delay. I only want it to reconnect when there is an actual change in the resolution. Moving the same session from one monitor to another of the same size, should not require a reconnect.
