Description
Describe the bug
Usually, if you have File Explorer open on a monitor, pressing space will open the QuickLook window on the same monitor that the File Explorer window is located on. However, when previewing a file that is located on the desktop, pressing space opens the QuickLook window on the Main Monitor, not on the monitor where the file is on
To Reproduce
- Move a file/folder to your second monitor's desktop
- Press space
- QuickLook opens on main monitor
Expected behavior
QuickLook opens on the second monitor
Desktop (please complete the following information):
- OS Version: Windows 10 v.20H2
- QuickLook Version 3.6.11 [msi]
