Subject: Odd screensaver behaviour

I've just set up a new W10 desktop machine with two monitors - the main
one landscape for general use and the second one portrait for displaying
A4 sized documents in actual size. For obvious reasons, the monitors are
configured as "Extended these displays" rather than "Duplicate these
displays".

I've set up a screensaver in the form of a photo slide show. When the
portrait monitor is on the right and the screensaver cuts in, its screen
goes blank and the slideshow takes place on the main (landscape)
monitor - which is fine.

However, when the portrait monitor is on the left and the screensaver
cuts in, the photos are half on each monitor with black space outboard of
them.

Anyone come across this, and any suggestions for fixing it? [OK I could
put the portrait monitor on the right but I really *want* it on the
left].

I read an article that screen savers are being slowly being removed from
Windows as few people use them, preferring to power down the monitor when
not in use. I haven't used a screen saver in years.

I use a black screen saver. no artifacts with those.

There should be some third part applications where you can specify which
picture goes on what monitor.
