Hi Gustaf, Which version OpenGL/DirectX of Java3D are you using ? You may want to try the others to see which one work best in dual monitors for your driver. Note that DirectX version of Java3D has explicitly handle the case when one window drag from one monitor to another in Java3D. But OpenGL version are handle by driver themselves.
