3 Monitor Mystery was created by Mike Petty
Hey all...I have an issue with my 3 monitor set up and FCP (reference the attached photo). I have 2 Apple audio displays and one LG display all running on a Mac Studio. They all work fine...I can drag or open anything across all three monitors and I can reconfigure the order using the system preferences...Except FCP! As you can see in the photo...my main monitor is the middle Studio Display. The problem I having is that when I open FCP in the dual monitor set up I want the second window on the LH side Studio Display 2  but it's defaulting to the RH LG Monitor. I cannot moved it to the to the other monitor. When I try to movie the second FCP window to Studio Display 2 using the Window Deep Down menu nothing happens. I can drag the second FCP Window over it will not budge. Having the second screen on the left has been my preferred setup for a decade...with scripts and other stuff in the RH display. anybody have any ideas what's gong on here and How I can get the second FCP window over 2 studio display 2? Thanks.

Apple needs to improve display ordering for more than 2 displays. Try swapping the physical connections between your LG and your secondary cinema display. You can set the main display in system preferences, but the order of the 2nd and 3rd display seems to be based on which port they are plugged into. If the LG display is HDMI, and can't bee switched, I would suggest putting it on the left.
