[Crash] upon connecting 2nd monitor

from Elemental Forums

The top of the elemental window is the top of the primary monitor. The bottom of the IE window is the bottom of my 2nd dispay (they are stacked). Upon connecting the display Elemental Crashed (not Responding). the music is still playing though if that matters.

You really should not hot-plug displays in the first place. Doing so can cause hardware damage due to the voltage present on those connections.

Kryo,

So what you're saying is it is a feature to discourage OP from hot-plugging in equipment versus a bug.

I'd say his having encountered a task-switching issue that others already have reported is pretty minor compared to the risk of burning out his video card if he keeps doing that :p
