bug-With Multiple secondary displays, primary duplicated to one of secondaries

from Stardock Forums

Ok, Multiplicity 3.44 on Windows 10 (fairly latest)

This has been a bug for a while for me:

The Setup:

Primary Computer - Multiplicity 3.44 KVM 9 license

Secondary Computer is a laptop with 1070gtx video card, and two external monitors.  So 3 displays total.

An external monitor on the secondary is configured as the primary desktop.

I can connect to the secondary, and it shows that there are three displays to switch between.

However, switching between the monitors, gives me a duplicated screen on one of them.

Select Screen "1" (laptop's internal display)=Shows image from secondary screen 2 (this is WRONG)

Select Screen "2" (External Display, set to primary windows monitor on secondary )=Shows image from secondary screen 2

Select Screen "3" (External Display)=Shows image from secondary screen 3

I did some further troubleshooting, and basically for the first two displays, multiplicity will always show the "main" windows display, and duplicate that on the second.  This held true that when the laptop was primary, that's what was shown.  When the external was primary, that was shown.

 

Adding a third display gives access to 2 of 3.

Anyone else experiencing this?

How are you connected to the other two monitors? Are any via USB?

So the laptop has a 1070gtx full graphics card in it.. (4 monitor support).  1 monitor is connected via HDMI, 1 is connected via mini-display port (adapted to HDMI)

After unplugging and isolating, etc.. The problem doesn't seem to follow a particular port..

That is the one that concerns me and not anything I would have available to me to test with.

Even without that one connected, HDMI only, the problem then becomes I only see the primary display and not the external, event though 2 are detected.
