Rhino 8 dual monitor/panel

Hi Everyone.
I have an issue with Rhino 8. I used to have several monitors in rhino 7 utilizing floating panels. However, I can’t seem to use my dual monitor setup with rhino 8. When moving the panels to the other monitor they disappear - is it a bug or am I doing something wrong?

like this:

Window > Panels > Material move that panel to the other desktop om my monitor
I use an M1 Max

Thanks!

This has been solved with one of the recent updates. Try updating to the latest release.

Hi John! it seems im running the latest version 8 (8.2.23346.13002, 2023-12-12) already. however its the trial version, but I don’t think that should matter.

same problem. In dual screen setup the foating toolbars disappear. Rhino updated and nvidia RTX5000 driver already udated. It seems no one care about the problem. I bought Rhino 8 for professional job. We use it in parallel with SW and we never had UI problems.

Hi Cesare -

Please run the Rhino SystemInfo command and copy-paste the result here.

Hi. Today 13 march 24 finally the issue with toolbars in dual screen setup is disappeared. I don’t know if the solution is due to the Rhino 8 update or the Windows 11 update. Both started today morning so it’s impossible address wich ever was the solutor. In anyway I’m so happy to start using Rhino 8 at full potential.
