Hello,

I'm new to this forum. Very informative!

Although I'm happy with LR 2.1, I dont' understand one thing.
I have 3 monitors on my WinXP-machine. Two 26" for picture editing and one 18" for secondary stuff like mail and browser. I use the two bigger screens for LR.
Every time the focus goes on the 3rd monitor, the 2nd window of LR disappears. Why? I don't see any useful reason for that. Let's say I have the grid view in the 2nd LR window and I want to read an email which says "send me pictures 1, 5 8 and 1'". I click on the mailclient and ping - the LR gird view is away :-(
If there is any use for this behaviour, I recommend an option to switch it off. I don't know any other multiple window application with this feature.

Thanks,
Thomas

Thomas, first if I (or anyone) haven't said it yet, Welcome to the forums.

Apparently the 3 monitor setup isn't a very common arrangement among LR users, and definitely not among LR developers.

I've been using 3 monitors since the beginning, and there are a number of frustrating issues, including the one you mention.

I'd recommend you add your voice to the debate officially by filing a bug report/feature request with Adobe, you can link to that on the tool bar above. (I think it's a coin-toss between being a bug or a requested feature :) )
