Max crash after fullscreen on extended monitor/projector.

Hey, I have strange problem, when I enter a fullscreen of jit.window on extended monitor, or projector, window disappear and max goes freez and crash. Main laptop display works fine. When I switch projector as main display, and laptop display as secondary, window crashes on laptop display. Nvidia graphic driver is updated. Thank you very much for every idea.

And the same simple patch (only jit.window with fullscreen message) on other laptop with same
projector works well. Any suggestion, please ?

Isn't it because of doing this with free version of Max Msp ? And full purchased version doesn't do that ?

Probably not, and if it were the case, it would be a very very misguided marketing decision. Questions needing answer before anybody could help you here are : windows or mac ? which os version ? is it the latest max version ? Other than that, this kind of breaking and system dependant bug may be better answered if you directly contact c74' support by mail.

It's windows 10 , and latest max. But the same thing, I can write about my laptop with licenced latest max, where's no problem with this. I'm asking here if somebody didn't come together with
this, because it could be some bad setting, bad output, or sync with screen resolution of projector, or I don't know what... But, what I see after hit to fullscreen is, that small jit.window output expand, then dissapear, that I can see the desktop, but after mouse click hole screen flash up to white. Hmm, I'll try contact support. Despite of that, thank you.

Ok, that I didn't find this in any forum, so I put it here. If somebody will have this problem, and update graphic drivers, or reinstall Max or Windows will dont't help, then here's the patch sent by Cory from support, that did thing. It fits fullscreen direct to port, which you want and bypass fullscreen function depended on position of output window.

Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.
