Extrude Planar Curve (in Solid Menu) Causes Screen to Jump (two screen setup)

In a two screen setup, when I use the Extrude Planar Curve/ Straight (Command) the existing window (normal 4 up) Jumps over to the left screen behind my Menu Windows.

This is what it looks like when I evoke the Extrude Planar Curve/ Straight (Command)

I consider this to be a bug.

Hello - can you please run the SystemInfo command in Rhino and post the results?

Here’s the link to Nvidia’s driver download page:
https://www.nvidia.com/download/find.aspx

Your drivers show to be 2014 vintage, which is prehistoric in Nvidia driver time.

I’d suggest updating your driver and then seeing what happens.

AIW:

That was the right direction, and the correct answer to the behavior problems I was having with Rhino 6.
A driver update, and the helpful update link you sent made the difference.
Thank you for your help! Greg

Hi Greg - @MrPelican, can you please run SystemInfo once more and post the new results here? We’d like to know which are ‘good’ and which are ‘bad’ drivers for Rhino 6. Thanks.

Perfect, thanks.

It’s interesting that although the new driver is shown on the Nvidia download site as supporting both video cards on MrPelican’s system apparently his update procedure only updated the driver for the K5000. I have no experience with 2-card systems, so I am wondering if there is something special that needs to be done when updating to get the new driver to recognize the 2nd card that it is capable of supporting? @jeff?? Or is what we see here an anomaly in SystemInfo’s capability?

I believe that Windows and/or NVidia’s installer only updates the Primary Display adapter, and that you need to go into the Device Manager and physically specify an update for the other devices. Mixing video card models isn’t really something I’ve tried here… It’s either different brands, and/or same models for SLI or Crossfire configs… in which case you’re either installing brand-specific drivers, or the same driver for the multiple cards… I guess I should know this, so I’ll look into it more this week.

As long as Rhino see’s the K5000 as the Primary Display and OpenGL device, everything should be fine. The other device is merely a display port at this point, although I believe the K5000 has several ports on it, so I’m not sure why the K600 is even in use at this point. Either way, it sounds like the problem is solved.
