I'm running two displays to my Macbook Pro. The dedicated apps that I'd like to set to my secondary display don't always remember to show up on the selected display. When I right-click on the app in the dock, both "Display 2" AND "None" are selected.
How do I get these apps to always remember my preference?

The new "repair disk permissions" is "boot into Safe Mode."
Startup in Safe Mode (maybe check if it works correctly while there), then restart normally and see if it works.
That clears some system caches (that's why it takes a while to boot) which may fix whatever weirdness has happened.

I don't have any idea how you managed to get more than one selected. I would imagine there is something related to having both set causing it to not work correctly. If you change it, what happens?
As to it remembering, do you disconnect monitors? If so, I would imagine it loses the connection because it has to go somewhere.
I don't run multiple displays anymore, so I don't have a way to test that theory.
Seems like a bug. Clicking "Desktop of Display 2" does nothing. Clicking "None" sets it to "None".
Went ahead and booted into Safe Mode then restarted as you suggested. Still seeing the double selection of the assigned Desktop AND None. Strange.
