Besides not being able to use the Saturation knob from a second monitor of a different resolution, the "pin" feature for vst's does not work either...this is a little frustrating since if I am doing A/B comparisons between say a channel strip 1176 and a vst one the only way I can keep the vst window pinned is if I drag it to the primary monitor where it now blocks out wave forms or other things I want to see...
 
Those of you having the issue with Saturation knob in PC while using a different monitor with a different resolution can you duplicate this just to check?
 
And before the "experts" all start suggesting resetting the vst and picture cache and making sure i have newest drivers, I have already done all that it is a bug, thanks for asking.

Pinning VST3s doesn't seem to work on a second monitor nor does having multiple VST3 plugin windows open simultaneously on a second monitor. Even when using the Ctrl key to over ride the default Recycle plugin Windows behaviour.

Works for me, what am I missing ?

I can have them open on my primary monitor but whether I drag the Multidock to the 2nd monitor or not I can't have multiple VST3s open on that 2nd monitor. VST 2 no problem.

Even if I turn off Plugin window Recycle.

I have no problem having multiple vst3's open on the second monitor, unlike the OP they are the same res, same model monitors.

Same for me, identical monitors at identical resolution.

What else is on your 2nd monitor? Are there other screens like the console open underneath the plugins?

I can own VST3s n the first monitor and drag them to the 2nd monitor but if I have the console open there as soon as I work on a plugin the others disappear and I can only ever bring one to the front again. On the main monitor I can do whatever I want and over ride the Recycle plugin widow if I choose to. On the 2 nd monitor I can only instantiate VST2 plugins simultaneous.

Us 'experts' didn't ask but many thanks for stating this before we had to ask it saves a lot of time and button pushing, however the picture cache and resetting vst's is not relevant. Knowing people's configuration is helpful.

Is anybody using utilities that toggle multiple desktops?
Also try disabling any software such as display control panel software that stays in resident memory looking for hotkey combinations.

Regardless by the look of it this scenario is dependant on where the console is reading the posts here if others can confirm.
