[BUG] Windows 8.1 + Dual displays and accounts
#1
Bizarre issue, tried 12.3 & the latest monthly Gotham build with the same result. Basically I have dual display setup, both at 1080p native, I created new local account (standard or administrator) Then I tried to display XBMC on secondary display (selected Full Screen #2) and it only fills about 80% of the screen, the background and taskbar is visible. If I uncheck " use full screen rather then true full screen" option it works ok, but that doesn't help me since it would minimize XBMC when clicking things on primary display. Also, the bizzare part is that this works fine with primary account that I used when I installed Windows.

To reproduce here are the steps:

Dual displays
Basic XBMC install, no changes done other then below
Create new local user account (standard or administrator)
Login with that user
Launch XBMC and change in the settings to display it on secondary display. Make sure "use full screen rather then true screen" is checked


Can someone try this please or perhaps you know of any workarounds?
