Bigbox and 4 monitor systems

[John M]

I have a 4 monitor system. Bigbox provides 4 displays to toggle between.

However, whenever toggling through the 4 displays, Bigbox renders on the primary display 2 times and skips one of the 4 monitors.

‌

Setting my 4th monitor (a tv I would like to use with Bigbox) as a primary monitor allows it to be used, but this requires switching back and forth between it being primary monitor. And when this 4th monitor is set as the primary monitor Big box still only cycles between 3 displays with the 4th display now appearing twice.

The resolution used for rendering is dependent on the actual display.

For example:

Scenario 1. 3x 4k monitors. 1 of these is primary; 4th monitor 1080p.

Cycling to the 4th display will render a 1080p bigbox window (but on the primary monitor instead of actually on the 4th monitor).

Scenario 2. 3x 4k monitors; 4th monitor 1080p (as primary display)

Cycling to the 2nd display will render the top left corner of a 4k image on the 4th monitor, cycling to the 4th monitor in this scenario will now render the monitor at the correct 1080p display.

So it’s pulling the resolution information properly. It’s just that it’s drawing to the primary monitor when selecting the 4th monitor rather than drawing to the actual 4th monitor (unless the 4th monitor happens to be the primary monitor).
