Same issues.
DisplayFusion had nothing to do with it.

Thanks again for the attention. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/weird-things-when-switching-primary-display-is-df-part-of-it/?ID=8f0f4cfa-9188-4a34-b8e7-86d2cd008ade#2 Mon, 07 Oct 2013 20:01:27 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/weird-things-when-switching-primary-display-is-df-part-of-it/?ID=8f0f4cfa-9188-4a34-b8e7-86d2cd008ade#2 DisplayFusion DisplayFusion shouldn't be doing anything that would cause that to happen. If you exit DisplayFusion before switching to/from Big Picture Mode, does it still occur? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/weird-things-when-switching-primary-display-is-df-part-of-it/?ID=8f0f4cfa-9188-4a34-b8e7-86d2cd008ade Thu, 03 Oct 2013 10:48:00 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/weird-things-when-switching-primary-display-is-df-part-of-it/?ID=8f0f4cfa-9188-4a34-b8e7-86d2cd008ade DisplayFusion So I've got a support ticket open with Steam cause Big Picture crashes when it attempts to switch the primary display. (I have two)

But that aside, the things I notice when the switching happens are a bit odd.
When the switch occurs
--the resolution for each display seems to temporarily go to 800x600, as evidence from the size of the windows after the switch.
--a lot of flickering happens
--the "device disconnected" and "device connected" play a couple times

I try to avoid switching my primary display whenever possible, especially when I have to rearrange all my windows right after.
I wonder if there is anything that DF does that affects this and if it could be possible to avoid having that crazy flicker and resize when switching.
If this isn't something that DF isn't affect then, well, I'll have more investigating to do. ]]>
