i appreciate all of the help, suggestions and feedback… but, sort of giving up now. i’ve tried every combo of mac/monitor/mission control/wavelab/etc settings and can’t get it to work.
at one point when i realized you could group all of the meters into one consolidated workspace window i thought that would fix it… since the window was now an “official” mac OS “window” with the 3 dots in the upper left and such… but, no, didn’t change anything.
WaveLab continues to be the only program that won’t show on the 2nd monitor when another app is on the first monitor.
the only thing i can think of is that the 2nd monitor i’m using is a USB monitor going into a USB jack on my iMac and maybe because of that, because it’s not going into a thunderbolt port it’s being treated differently. but why only WL would respond oddly to that and not other applications i don’t know.
anyway… again, i appreciate the help thus far and don’t want to take up any more of anyone else’s time on this!
