Dual monitors, 5 regions, cross-monitor not working
IS Boxer 38
Created window layout with five regions. I used the wizard because I could not find the "Cross-monitor swapping" option anywhere else, only in the wizard. Is this a hidden option inaccessible anywhere but the wizard?
On display #1 is region 1. On display #2 are regions 2-5. Cross monitor swapping set to true.

I launch, and all five game windows (EQ) launch and are placed into their respective slots.
Region 1 window is readable, regions 2-5 windows are blurred. (for Joe) I'm pretty sure this is what happens when the code does a MoveWindow but does not send a follow-up WM_SIZE message to the window. A WM-SIZE message sent to those windows will clear up the blur. I believe this is standard behavior though from what I've witnessed (the blurred windows).
To log in to each window, it appears I need to swap it to the main region (region 1), so I left click in the target window (say the one in region 2, which is on monitor 2), intending for it to swap to region 1 on monitor 1.
What happens is that ISBoxer thinks region 1 is now on monitor 2. and instead of displaying the game window I clicked in onto monitor 1, it expands and displays it on monitor 2, at which point the window is now covered by the windows in regions 3-5. Clicking windows in each other region 3-5 yields the same result, they expand and display on monitor 2 instead of monitor 1.
Also, I set up a hotkey for swapping "next window" and "previous window". When I am focused on main window in region 1, and I press "next window" hotkey, my region 1 window disappears completely, gets placed into region 2, and the former region2 window goes full screen on monitor 2, instead of monitor 1.
What do I need to do to ensure that window swapping swaps the target window onto monitor 1?
