Hi Brahim,

I guess it’s because you have more than 2 screens on your computer. I never considered this case in the code…
In gui_layout.m, can you try to replace line 306:
if (nbScreens == 2)
With:
if (nbScreens > 2)

Let me know how it behaves in this case. If it solves your issue, I’ll keep this change it in the distribution.

Hi Brahim,

The new line should be (nbScreens >= 2), not (nbScreens > 2).
I made the same error in the code… but it’s fixed now.
