Hi I have found that when I arrange monitors on my MacBook Pro I can’t position the second monitor above the main monitor(the one with the menu bar). If I do odd things happen. Just so happens I that is the space that I have for a second monitor is on a stand above the screen of my MacBook Pro. So I had to position my second monitor to the left of my main monitor. I am then able to work on LiveCode in either monitor. The only thing I had to do was re-train my brain that moving my mouse left was actually moving it up to my second monitor. Now it is second nature.
It is a really odd workaround and if the bug ever got fixed and I did in fact go back to to having the monitor arrangement with the second monitor above the main monitor I would probably develop carpal tunnel syndrome or maybe tennis elbow or some other musculoskeletal disorder from my mouse hand skidding off the mouse pad and hitting the laptop every time I want to go to the second monitor sitting above my laptop.
