[Preface: I am having an issue and posted it to the Facebook VW users page thinking that perhaps my issue was related to a setting SNAFU and not a bug. One other user chimed in and reported a very similar issue and another suggested that I bring the question here. So, here we are...]
I'm having video(?) issues where at some points in my VW process the cheese slides off the cracker of my computer and it loses connection to my multi-monitor dock. This causes VW to freeze up for a second and then dump all the windows onto the laptop's main screen. For me, the fix is to physically disconnect the USBc going to the dock, give it a second, and reconnect. That puts the main VW screen back where it should be but then a bit of re-setting up my palette windows. Now, I'm not at all ruling out the possibility of it being either my computer or my dock (or the cable between) as the culprit; but since I haven't experienced this problem in any other applications, of which I use many, I thought I would see if I could get some honey from the hive about dialing in the graphics settings in VW. I went in and DEselected the 'Accelerate Graphics" setting in Preferences>Display but it's happened again a few times. At first, the issue seemed to happen randomly, but I think it might coincide with when I'm going in or out of editing a group or symbol (eg when the orange bar is around the screen) - but I haven't been able to re-create the problem on-demand.
