Dual monitor set up "glitch"...

Let me see if I got it correctly: you want the main FCP interface to be on the left, and the secondary display to be the otherwise main display.

Here is a little trick for you: instead of launching FCP from the Dock or the Applications folder (or, heaven forbid, Launchpad...), try it this way:

1) Click somewhere in the empty area of the menu of the display you want it to use (in this case, it will be the Wacom, if I understood correctly)

2) Press Command-space and type Final

3) Press enter

Incidentally, using Spotlight, as in steps 2) and 3), is my preferred way to launch applications, in general; the first step ensures that the desired display is "active" when you launch an application (this of course will work for other applications as well).

I love Launchpad. One button on the Touch Bar, type one letter and return. Because Launchpad can be organized in use first order rather than alphabetically, it's much quicker than stupid Spotlight, which is almost as dumb as Siri.

Yes, Luis, you correctly understood my set up.

Okay, based on that suggestion, I first tried relaunching normally to confirm the problem - I launched using the dock, as I always have. I quit FCPX and launched using the dock again, but used the dock from the left-side monitor this time, and the app opened the way I preferred it, with the correct window in each monitor.

Thanks, problem solved, though I do find that an annoying behaviour. Instead of having to swap them every time, I have to remember to us the left dock every time.

I never suggested to use the Dock!!!

Agree to disagree 😎

I'm afraid Apple's going to do away with it in the next OS so I'll have to adapt my ways.
