ofGLFWWindowSettings::monitor has no effect (with Windows)

[Jonathhhan]

All of the other GLFW settings work, but ofGLFWWindowSettings::monitor not (if I am right, that one should choose the monitor where the screen coordinates start). I experience the issue with Windows.

[Jonathhhan]

Maybe with my Windows system is somethiong wrong, because the app Window always appears on the second monitor...

There is a lot of issues with GLFW window handling. In fact for production I'm using a fork that fixes most problems to me, but it changes API.
if you want to try it out, it is here
https://github.com/dimitre/openFrameworks/tree/glfw0

in this fork you should use ofWindowSettings instead of ofGLFWWindowSettings

@dimitre thank you. I tried it, the monitor setting still has no effect.

[dimitre]

which one is your primary monitor? and which one is on the left on arrangement?
other thing you can try, not sure if it will result differently, is to try a different setting in that branch, like

		settings.fullscreenDisplays = { 1 };

[Jonathhhan]

I guess, my primary monitor is on the right (I had to switch the order in the control panel). This can make it more confusing.

I've just perceived a similar issue to yours
