External Monitor and Layouts on Mac

I have Logos 10 on a MacBook Pro M1 with a large external monitor.

I built a complex layout with windows on both screens and saved as a new layout.

When I start new and open that layout, all windows open but they all stack on my laptop screen and ignore the external monitor.

Is this a bug? Am I missing a setting?

    Hmm so I don't have this problem on windows and my macbook is only connected to one monitor or I would check for you. 
    Just thinking out loud here but have you tried arranging the windows how you'd like (one window on left monitor and one window on right) and then saving the layout again afterwards? Is it possible the layout was saved while all the windows were on one monitor? If not, maybe it can't hurt to try again and just arrange the windows how you wish and click "update active layout", or even save it as a whole new layout? Also if you create another dual window layout, does it do the same thing?

    Thanks Frank--

    I  rebuilt the layout and saved everything in correct location - same result. Everything later jumped to my laptop screen.

    Made a completely new layout on both screens, saved, same result.

    What's funny is that the little preview images in the Layouts Menu show everything in the correct place on two screens! But in reality they don't go there.

    Puzzling.

    Very much so. I can see how that'd be frustrating too :\. It may be worth shooting an email out about as well.

    I don't know about Mac or Apple ... but in Windows (the system the apostles used - lol)  I find that the logos main window must be on monitor 1 and then I can build the display on monitor 2 to be what I want.... then save it as a layout and ... then when I call that layout... it shows like I built it. 

    But if I put the Logos Main window on monitor 2 and build my screen on monitor 1....that doesn't work... the screens on both monitors seem to get confused... 

    Like I said... I'm speaking from a [8-|]Windows use point of view...

    Edit:  Guess what I was trying to say is.... or ask....was your main Logos window on your monitor 1 screen?

    xn = Christan  man=man -- Acts 11:26 "....and the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch".
