This was discovered when reporting this A2B specific bug: ez.analog.com/.../network-view-gets-ugly-after-some-number-of-nodes

Thanks Brewster,

But I am not sure if this is intentional or not? When expanding to multiple monitors there are many variables like different resolutions and sizes so getting the graphics to line up and look right might be too difficult.

I will report this to the programming team and see what comes of it.

Hi Dave,

I've never seen an app that couldn't expand across monitors. Agree if you don't have consistent monitors (like a laptop and only one attached monitor) scaling on one of the might be funny. I don't think anyone should worry about that corner case as it's really no different than dragging the app halfway across monitors.

I'm just looking for a "normal" 2 monitor setup.

I should mention that the view->zoom in/out doesn't work in the A2B Network view mode, but I made that a bug on the A2B side. But maybe that's a SS+ bug too?

Oh, and of course this works correctly in SS 4.7.

So yeah this is a definite regression...

Hello Brewster,

I tried to think of a wise-guy funny response but I cannot seem to expand my view past the monitor in front of me.

I did report this. I suspect this is a simple fix of changing a bit in the window object declaration.

Thanks as usual for doing a fantastic job of kicking the tires!
