Huhu and a wonderful good evening =)
Window - New View
if I want to do this and move the new view to my 2nd monitor, this is not possible.
Is that normal or is there a bug?
Warm greetings

Hi
A screenshot could help to understand the situation, but assuming you’re in subwindows mode:
- Subwindow work in MDI mode, they can’t be moved outside main Krita window
- If you extend the main Krita window on multiple monitor, you should be able to move the MDI Subwindow from a monitor to another one, but having main window on 2 monitor is not really usable (from my opinion…)
- If you create a new window (menu Window > new window), move this new window to second monitor, and then on this new window do menu Window > New view, you should get a view on second monitor

Hi
yes I am in the LOWER WINDOW
it is also displayed in the KRITA MAIN WINDOW
unfortunately I can’t move this WINDOW to the 2nd monitor, it just disappears, it doesn’t show up on the 2nd monitor.
If you create a new window (Window menu New Window), move that new window to the second monitor, and then run the Window New View menu in that new window, you should get a view on the second monitor
Yes, that’s how it works…thank you
very cumbersome =)
Warm greetings

There is also cockpit mode where you can detach canvas and put it on second monitor, but that will just keep the tool in one monitor not duplicate the view of current document.
@raghukamath
do not quite understand? What do you mean?
Read the window layout section here - Workspaces — Krita Manual 5.0.0 documentation
And check these options in krita

DAMMM…=(
KRITA crashes when I do this…and all my settings are gone…LOL
Oh!! then this is a bug.
lol^^
the MAIN TOOLBAR cannot be displayed…
the settings are also upside down
Okay, First go to View menu and check if “detached canvas” is unchecked.
After that revert to default workspace. In the top tool bar click on the workspace button and click default.
And then if you don’t have the toolbar, do this - Go to Seetings > Docker > and check toolbox
Finally we should report that Krita crashes when you use this option. May I know which option you clicked " Cockpit" or “Dual Screen Editing”

I don’t understand what is the “lower window”?
Just to be sure, we are both talking about windows, not views? 
If I understand the situation, you have 2 main window, but not possible to move these 2 main window on the second screen?
It occurs for all application, or only Krita?
A screenshot of your current desktop, before trying to move the window, could really help.

here is my standard view
I’m talking about VIEW
I would like to draw on the tablet and see the picture in full size on the 2nd screen.
When I make new VIEW I have 2 TABS that I can’t move. I need to switch to SUBWINDOW mode. Then I have 2 VIEWS, but I can’t move them to my 2 monitors, when I do that VIEW disappears
when I detach the CANVAS I have the option to move it to the 2nd monitor but I can’t paint on another VIEW because there isn’t one
Ok, if you follow exactly steps I provided, it should work
Create a new window
Move the window
Then create a new view in the new window

MDI sub-window system is something here (from a computer ui point of view) from years
It was already there with windows 3.1 
SDI sub-window système mode is not available in Krita but I personally don’t like it…
GIMP allows to choose between both mode for example, and clearly I prefer MDI mode
After that’s a personal preference…

This mode also has a bug… when using the freehand tool, you only see it on one screen…
I’ll leave that for now^^
