I have installed RC3 version on my workstation PC in singleseat mode. I used to run MP RC2 in fullscreen (EVR) on my TV and simultaneously work at my primary screen (dual desktop). This isn't possible in RC3 anymore. When I set MP to run in full screen now on my TV and I try to do some other things at my primary screen(desktop), MP gets minimized to tray as soon as I click on the primary desktop or do some other action at primary desktop. Is this a new feature, not to be able to run two desktops anymore? If MP is started in windowed mode on the TV-secondary desktop, I'm able to use my PC and the primary desktop as it was in RC2 (MP fullscreen on TV-secondary desktop). But who want's to run MP in windowed mode anyway? Please fix this if possible.

bummer, forgot to switch to EVR mode. works as in RC2.

I don't know why it wouldn't work for you, but I am running the same setup and have no such issue. I am using nVidia dual-view mode...
