Server Version#:1.42.2.10156  
Player Version#:1.112.0

I have a dual monitor setup (extended screens) with my main monitor running 3440x1440 and my second monitor is 3840x2160. Normally I start the player on my main and it’s working fine. Anytime I have to move/drag the player window to dock it on the right side of my main monitor, if any part of that window extends past the main monitor and starts to drag/show on the second monitor the player will lose it’s current resolution and look weird and out of sync. I have to move it to the secondary monitor where it will look correct again. But I don’t want it on the second monitor, just the first. So I have to then close the player but then it reopens on the secondary monitor over and over instead. It takes me dragging it back to monitor 1 and open and closing it at least 5-6 times until it resets and opens on monitor 1 with the correct resolution. You currently can’t drag the player between 2 different monitor resolutions and it auto correct to the monitors resolution, it freaks out. This has been an issue for years no matter the server/player version being used. Image 1/2 is what happens when the player moves between windows, image 3 is when it’s correct, everything/controls are in correct location.
