Multi screen breaks laptop link

Open media14 opened this issue 4 years ago • 9 comments

When using multiple monitors connected to laptop, Flycut acts as expected on external monitors, but will not open on the native monitor.

I use flycut with an external monitor hooked up to my macbook. So far have been able to access app from either with no problems...hmmm... 🤔 is your macOS up to date?

PS—also make sure your version of flycut is downloaded from latest developer release. If you d/l’d off Apple Store it is outdated...

It was the latest updates that broke it, was working fine just a couple weeks ago.

Interesting...I have latest Catalina. Maybe my ver of flycut is out of date 🤔 what ver of each are you running?

I don't have an external monitor for mac. Anyone would like to dive into the code? :)

I have the same problem.

I have a MacBook and an external monitor. My Mac's display is the primary monitor.

I have Chrome windows open on both screens.

When I use Flycut from the menu bar icon on my 2nd monitor, it tries to paste the link into the chrome window of my primary monitor.

Maybe it is related to having multiple windows of the same apps on both monitors.
