Labview Palletes off screen using 3 screens

[jessica_kh]

I am running labview using three screens, If I have a front panel or diagram on any of the extending screens the pallets can appear off screen or such that the selections are not available. This is getting annoying, I have to move the panel to the first screen then I can get the pallets to appear fully. 

Is there a way of fixing this? 

I cannot show this as the pallets disappear if I attempt to screenshot,

I am currently using LV2018 32bit

If, for instance, you have a VI on the rightmost monitor, and you open the functions palette towards the right side of the VI, if it detects the edge of the monitor, LabVIEW should shift the palette towards the center of the screen so that it is fully visible.  If yours doesn't do that, I suspect you have a problem with the layout of your monitors.  If you are using an NVIDIA video card, you can open the NVIDIA control panel, click on "Set up multiple displays" and verify that the layout of your monitors within the driver matches the actual layout on your desktop.

The problem is height rather than width, it disappears off the bottom of the screen. I have seemed to have found a workaround. By pinning a palette and putting it on the first screen, wherever I click now a new palette appears within range. Could it be because my screens are not all the same size?

Screen 1 1920 x 1080 (laptop)

Screen 2 1680x 1050

Screen 3 1920 x 1080

I think I recognise this, and it happens to me when my monitors aren't all at the same magnification setting.  For example, if one is at 125% while another is at 100%.

Even when a VI spans across two monitors, I cannot make it so that the palettes are partially visible on both monitors.  So Labview is smart in this regard and shouldn't show a partial palette.  NVIDIA has a setting called merged display.  I don't know exactly what that does but I have an idea.  Not sure how it might affect Labview though.  So if you have this enabled, maybe you could try turning that off....assuming you have NVIDIA card.

That's interesting, yes one screen is set to 125% (recommended), changed it to 100% like the others and will check
