External RDP session does not open in selected monitor
Define an RDP session with 'Display': 'External' + 'Primary monitor'
No matter what I choose as monitor, the session always opens on the current monitor.

Hi David,
I can reproduce the issue internally.
We will look into it.

Can confirm that choosing a monitor puts the session on the correct monitor.
My final remark "Selecting 'Prompt on connection' does not prompt for anything." still does not prompt for a monitor, though.
We'll recheck that part.
Thanks for letting us know.

Version 2022.2.0.3 seems to behave as advertised.
Keep up the good work!
