Resolved - ImGui Viewports not draggable to second monitor (slvd: diff window scaling) (1 Viewer)

My understanding is that in /mqsettings, checking the "Enable Viewports" option will allow Lua windows to be dragged outside of the EQ window. I am finding that while I can drag the windows anywhere on my primary monitor (where EQ is running), when I try to drag onto my second monitor, I can drag most of the window over, but the last sliver is being prevented from moving off the first monitor.

I'm uploading a photo to try to explain what I mean. If anyone's encountered this before and knows how to fix it, I'd appreciate it!

Check multitasking > snap settings in your windows settings (windows not mq) and turn it off

Do your monitors have different scaling settings? Eq doesn’t play nice with that and as a result neither do the viewport windows
That’s gotta be it. Yes, they currently do (you can see the difference in the photo I posted). I might try to equalize them, but they’re different resolutions, willl that cause a problem?

Disappointing, but I’m glad there’s a known reason for it (and it just means it might be time for a monitor upgrade ;)

Circling back to this - I tried changing the scaling on my monitor 2 to match what it was on monitor 1, and the windows moved freely after that, so that was definitely the problem. Thanks again.
