I tried connecting a secondary display to my laptop, and it seems to awkwardly half-work. I can’t figure out why, though.
Right now, the external monitor only lets me drag objects 90% of the way to the right (there’s a small sliver of the screen where I can place my cursor, but for some reason, I can’t have a fullscreen window there.
Moreover, when I try to fix the problem using the display settings, the second screen just doesn’t show up, even though it’s connected by HDMI and clearly working (apart from the minor issue mentioned).
Anyone know how to fix this?
