The Use All Monitors option in the PC Display tab has been broken in 10.7.4, 10.7.5, 10.7.6. 10.7.7, 10.7.8, and is also broken in 10.7.9 (2010). The only version that has reliably worked is 10.7.3.

 

My displays:

Built-in Liquid Retina XDR Display on 16" M1 MacBook Pro (3456px x 2234px) - center

LG UltraFine 5K 27" (5120px x 2880px) - above

Dell P2211H 21.5" (1920px x 1080px - left

This is what my screen arrangement looks like in system preferences:

and what RDP looks like after connecting when "using all monitors":

It results in only one monitor being used and the resolution is extremely low and everything looks blurry.

 

Disabling "Optimize for Retina Displays" allows me to use all 3 monitors but the low resolution and blurriness persists across all screens when doing this, which is unacceptable.

 

@gietal @js351  could you look into this for me? I can send logs or whatever you need.

 

Here are logs captured with core log level: error and UI log level verbose:

thanks for the logs @edgariscoding, that's enough to get us started. 

just to verify, from the logs it looks like your macbook has a camera notch. is that accurate?
