I am using Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac (8.0.17). I run it on a MacBookPro with Yosemite. Host machine runs Windows 7 on our work network. I have two Dell monitors. I use one of the connections on a monitor and connect it to the Mac with a DVI connection. When running MRDP, and accessing applications on the Windows computer, I cannot use the second monitor to move and switch the remote desktop to it.

I can successfully use both monitors with only the Mac desktop but not while using RDP. Is there another way to accomplish this?
If you have a dual monitor set-up and Lion and you have tried the fullscreen setting, then you know what is wrong. Might as well not even have the second monitor.Lion completely takes over both monitors and only allows you to have one app up. Pointless, and no way to stop it. (A preference setting in System Preferences under Displays would have been the right thing to do). I know I don't have to use fullscreen, but it was nice to be able to view a Quicktime movie fullscreen on one monitor while continuing to work on the other. Lion makes that impossible. Anyone know of a work-around or fix for the fullscreen/dual monitor fiasco?
Thanks for all help. Dual-monitor control is one area where Lion is less functional than Snow Leopard. Full-screen defaulting to a single monitor isn't just a problem with videos, as other people have said, but it destroys the usefulness of the feature for programs like Mail or Preview as well. It's fairly common (at least, I do it) to have a technical document or emails open full-screen on a second monitor, and the new full-screen behaviour makes that impossible. A solution would be for apps/windows to go full-screen on the monitor on which they were displayed.

Full-screen apps could still be switched between using Mission Control - they would just move from one screen to the other before disappearing into virtual-desktop land. I think you are right on how it should work, at a minimun, look how chrome did it. It works somewhat rationally there. Put chrome on the external, it goes fs, and leaves the primary monitor open to use, like I am doing right now. So I wonder this: does each app developer write the fullscreen code for themselves, and insert into their app using some fullscreen api from apple? If so, thumbs up for the folks at google!!!
