Hi,

it was in v12 and V12 hotfix1 its same... I think ignored or not noticed....!

VFB render and stop button drop down menu are misplaced.
its only on display 2, although both are same size and pixel... just company difference.
Screen shot attached.

And one more when close VFB, it should remember its place (monitor 1 or 2), not on default place if open again vfb.

Thanks.

Same here on a 2 screen workstation RTX4090 with identical monitors 2 x 3840x1600.
The new frame buffer is just totally useless for me. I changed back to the old one via Corona preferences.

All is fine here on dual monitors (4K, identical monitors, VFB 2 on either monitor is correct). One thing that stands out to me is that I am using C4D 2024, but you both seem to be using older versions?

Didn't say it was a C4D issue, was simply looking for why it works 100% ok on my dual monitor system and not on the two here, and so trying to find what the differences are. Do either of you use Windows Scaling at all? (I don't, it's at 100%).

Windows 125% scaling, at 100% small icons
Tried by setting 100% scaling but same... its misplaced.
Try two different company monitors... maybe u get misplaced.

I work remotely so these are the only monitors I can test on :) However many of the team work on dual monitors and if this had come up, we'd have noticed. I'll leave it to the support folks to dig deeper and find out why it is happening on particular machines. Thanks for the extra info that will help in diagnosing!

No Windows scaling in my setup, all 100 %. But its not just the drop down menus. VFB stops refreshing when the VFB window is dragged to another screen. Resizing the VFB brings 1 refresh. The C4D VFB (picture viewer) keeps updating the whole time while Corona VFB stops updating. Only restart C4D can help with that.

Btw.: Thanks for letting us choose the old VFB in Preferences. The new one is not usable for me.

Thank you for the extra info! Hmm still haven't spotted what is different. I'm on Windows 11, just to check that (BLADE I see you are on Win 10). The support team may well have other questions or info too ofc, I am just trying to narrow things down a little in the meantime. Also, yw on the old VFB still being available! We definitely wanted to keep that there with this initial release of the VFB 2, in part so that folks can update in the middle of a project and not have to get familiar with the new one, and in part in case some issues pop up like here.
