Expected Behavior
OBS full screen projector should project to the selected display.
Current Behavior
The system has 5 display monitors. Two are connected to the first graphics card, two to the second graphics card and one to the USB to HDMI adapter.
Was using OBS 26.0.2. Full screen projector worked just fine.
Upgraded to OBS 27.1.3. Now full screen projector always projects to the first display no matter which display is selected as the target display.
Now installed both OBS 26.0.2 and OBS 27.1.3 in portable mode (in separate directories). With OBS 26.0.2 full screen projector works just fine (i.e. projects to the selected display). With OBS 27.1.3 full screen projector always projects to the first display no matter which display is selected as the target display.
Steps to Reproduce
Launch OBS, select any scene, right click either the "Preview" or the "Program" window select "Fullscreen Projector" and then select a display
OBS always projects to the same display no matter which display is selected from the list.
Anything else we should know?

Research direction
Reproduce in OBS Studio 27.1.3 on Windows 10 with multiple displays, following the listed Fullscreen Projector steps, and compare with 26.0.2. Review the supplied OBS log while testing display selection; done means the projector opens on whichever display is selected rather than always using the first display.
