Would like to be able to work across multiple screens - plan view on one screen and long section/grid/graph on another.

I use three screens. Sometimes it is for multiple programs and sometimes for the same. In ArcGIS Pro, attribute tables (similar to grid tables) can be on a separate screen. This greatly enhances my workflow and the ability to visually track changes as they are made. Please allow the grid window to move to a separate screen. I spend way too much time switching between the two screens.
This seems like a really basic function that would considerably improve the user experience - during modelling it's very common to want to compare data tables to objects on screen etc and being able to do so would make modelling more efficient, effective and enjoyable.
In the 2023.1 release (July 2022) we added support for 4K screens. Thanks for the idea but we will not be extending support for multiple screens at this stage.

This by far the most popular idea in this forum.
Why is there a reluctance to implement it?
Hi, Could you please re-eavalute this claim?
This will provide a better user experience. WaterGEMS, MIKE+, ... a lot of other tools do it.
Thanks a lot
I've been working with WaterGEMS quite a lot lately - and it is quite nice to be able to drag things out of the primary screen - just saying.
