Thank you Paul! Especially for all the detail. You are absolutely right on target, and everything is good now.

Cheers,

If you haven’t set any extra desktops before you will see “Desktop 1” for the main monitor and “Desktop 2” for the secondary monitor at the tops of the screens. Now move the mouse pointer to the grey bar at the top and you should see a “+” appear at the right hand side, click on the “+” to add a third Desktop, you don’t have to use this, but it will allow you to assign apps to specific desktop views. Close the view by clicking on any of the open windows or press F3 again.

Once you have removed any excess Desktops and you are down to Desktop 1 and 2, you will lose the option to assign applications to a particular display, I’m not sure what the logic of this is, but that’s how it goes.
