If you or anyone else in this discussion are still having this issue, I have found a solution. Though, I do not know how permanent it is. 

 

I use a Dell XPS 1500 with two 23" Dell monitors connected via Dell Universal Dock. A few months ago, I incidentally solved the problem while disconnecting and reconnecting my displays and was never quite sure what solved it until now. I had to do a complete reset of my computer recently and after reinstalling all my software and applications this problem came back. Here are the steps I recall:

 

  1. Change the projection to show only on the PC screen (internal display)
  2. Physically, disconnect the PC from the docking station
  3. Restart PC
  4. After rebooting, connect the PC back to the docking station
  5. Change projection back to "extend"

 

I'd like to note that all my preferred display settings (scaling, resolution, main display) were all set prior to following these steps, so I did not have to change anything after the problem was resolved. These steps could also vary depending on how the displays are all connected (docking station, desktop, etc.)

 

Hope this helps someone.
