I don't if it's me (probably) or Resolve (maybe) but dual screen mode is really acting screwy.
I only recently set it up. I followed the otherwise simple instructions. But it just seems like from one moment to the next Resolve has a mind of its own as to whether or not pay any attention to the set up.
I have the viewer and timelines on one large screen and the media pool, various tools and mixers on the other.
Sometimes only the viewer will show up. And then usually (not always) I discover that Dual Screen has shut itself off.
Other times I can't make heads or tails of why one screen won't show up, even though Dual Screen is on. I fiddle with it, and I end up making it appear. But I think those instances have to do with my temporarily going to Finder or my browser and that screws up one of the screens.
But today takes the cake. I left everything with dual screens showing. I didn't shut anything off. I'm not even sure how much the computer sleeps with Resolve open as I once saw in my Activity Monitor that it won't let the Mac sleep. The screens, though, do go dark. I opened them up and found only one screen showing the Resolve workspace (the larger screen) but NOT with the viewer or the timelines. Rather I found only the media and a set of sound mixers showing on the large screen and nothhing on the smaller one.
Usually I have been able to turn Dual Screens back on. But this time, I couldn't. I click "On" and nothing happened. I only managed to get the Dual screens working again by closing down Resolve and reopening it. When I did, the dual screens weren't back, but i could click "on" and they worked again. BUT with the roles of each screen reversed.
Am I missing something? Is this a known bug? Is it a question of memory? (I've got 64gb ram).
