MultiScreen application using touchscreen

[Jaramal]

Hello,

I’m currently developping a multiscreen application which runs on two monitors :

• The default one : first person 3D view
• A secondary touchscreen : top view of the world, with position of the player and possible interaction with the screen.

When I run the project (on Windows 10), Unity seems to launch two applications in fullscreen. Everything works fine until I touch the secondaryscreen : Then it takes the focus and the main screen gets minimized, as if I had hit ALT+TAB…

Clearly Unity wasnt designed to run multiscreen applications, considering the late implementation of the Display.Activate() method. After a few hours of digging, I will definitely focus on networking communication. But I’m still curious if there is a way to avoid this application switch ?

It should not be doing that. Can you file a bug report please?

Thanks for your answer.
I submitted a bug report and attached the sub-mentioned project.
Hope this helps.
