Q: This update seems to have cause an issue....

Jun 20, 2012 7:51 AMby IntrigueGraphics,Yes, very similar problem here. I was monitoring another user's iMac (running 10.6.8) with a second display from my iMac (also 10.6.8). Admin iMac is running ARD 3.5.2 and client is running 3.5.3. The extra screen IS on the left.
In the past, it used to work fine. I could observe both displays together and one at a time. After the newest update, it is barely usable. When both are viewed simultaneously, the images of the desktops have "shifted" over. What should be display 2, on the left, is blank. The second window over shows display 2. To the right of that, I see a clipped view of display 1 (the iMac).
When selecting Display 2, I get a blank window. When selecting Display 1, I see the screen correctly.
No amount of tinkering has been able to "fix" this.

I saw this before I had updated all the machines, so I deselected that updater from a few machines, but the ones I updated are now barely usable as you say.
I will send in some feedback here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/remotedesktop.html
You should too.

Jun 26, 2012 10:23 AMby IntrigueGraphics,Ultimately, I went to a Time Machine backup to pull my 3.5.1 Admin. I left the clients at 3.5.3. This actually worked for me. Multiple displays appear as they should.
Another thing I observed is related to repsonse time of the cursor. While running Admin 3.5.2, I noticed a significant lag when moving the mouse around, even on single display Macs. After reverting back, it was snappy once again.
I did submit a bug report about both of those issues. Hopefully, somebody at Apple will be able to fix the problems for the next update.
