Maps resize/refresh depending on which monitor has focus

[arlo-j]

I use a 2nd monitor, and depending on which screen I'm working on, Satellite Eyes will refresh based on the current screen, and size the zoom level slightly differently between the two. This causes the background map images to shift suddenly, many times a day as I work.

That's odd. I regularly use two screens and I've not seen this before. Is there something unique about your setup? What resolution and scaling are the screens set to?

And when you say 'focus', do you mean which app is foreground?

Hi Tom- It is a Macbook Pro retina, and the external is an LG Ultrafine (27" I believe). That could have something to do with it. By focus, I mean yes, depending which display the foregrounded window is on, the roundtrip that Satellite eyes bases the resolution for the pair of map images on that screen (I think?).

I notice this same behaviour too, with a MacBook Pro 16" and and external Dell 27" screen.
The position for which Satellite Eyes shows the map seems to slightly change when changing focus from and to the other screen. (Which is odd, because the geoposition of the external screen can be considered to be equal to the one of the laptop next to it :-)

Another solution could be: don't change the location for retrieving / showing the map if it differs only a very small fraction from the location already shown. Since most desktops and even laptops are quite static, and a continuously updating background while on the road isn't the main Satellite Eyes' use case... it has the benefit of less requests to map tiles and a more stable/static background image.
