Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference to kick off June 10 at 10 a.m. PDT with Keynote address

The Keynote will be available to stream on apple.com, the Apple Developer app, the Apple TV app, and the Apple YouTube channel. On-demand playback will be available after the conclusion of the stream.

Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Folder and application windows don't span both screens?

I just plugged a secondary monitor into my new iMac (21" Retina display, Mojave), and noticed a couple of changes in screen behavior, going from my old Mac Mini (El Capitan) to the new iMac.

First, about the menu bar: the old system has one only on the primary screen. The new one has a menu bar in whichever screen received the most recent mouse click, and a "ghost" menu bar in the other screen. Not a problem, but can anybody tell me more about that?

The other change is that I can apparently no longer have an application span both screens. Now, granted, the auxiliary screen is not "Retina" resolution (it's a ViewSonic VA912b, 1280x1024), but is that the only reason for the inability to have a window span both screens?

iMac 21.5" 4K, macOS 10.14
