So the name of the option is "Span" and it goes in the Style drop-down box? Does it do any sort of scaling? Is this right? """ Span: Displays portions of the image on each monitor according to the monitor layout in the [link]Display Preferences[/link]. This is only useful when you use multiple monitors. """ Also, I noticed in the patch on #609809 an option called "Stretch" (in the content just before the addition). I don't see this in the docs or 2.28 UI. Is it a renaming of one of the existing options?
