I'm really hoping someone out there has a solution for me as i've called just about everyone and done ton of research online but have come up with nothing. Long story short is that I have an imac connected to 2 external monitors (so three displays altogether). When i remote in to my company through citrix receiver, and maximize the window to take advantage of the multiple displays - it automatically extends to all three monitors because the extend desktop through apple system preferences is on. My issue is that i only want to extend to two of the three displays because i need to open up other local software on my third display that's outside of my work connection through citrix receiver. The issue is once i click on another local app on my third monitor, it automatically switches outside of my citrix receiver and so i can't have displays showing work (citrix receiver) and a display showing another local app.
I've called everyone, my monitor company, Apple, my IT support for work, etc., no one has a solutoin for me. So far, my only solution, is to get another computer and run the two external monitors to it for work and then keep the imac as a completely separate computer simply for my other software that i need outside of citrix.
I'm guessing i'm not the only one that ever had to do this so really hoping someone might be able to offer a solution to me. Thanks very much!
