Snapping to screen size on multi monitor setups?

I'm not sure if this is an issue caused by EVE or by my graphics drivers but it seems that when running in windowed mode, the game will not allow itself to be resized to be larger than a single screen in a multi monitor setup. This causes a problem for me since I'm running a 3x1 portrait setup (3240x1920 total) so the game window is not wide enough.

If this is indeed caused by EVE, is there a way to disable this behaviour, and if not can such a setting be added?

As far as I know you should be able to resize the window to any size you want.Also you should be able the pick the maximum combined resolution of your monitors in the video option i.e: 3240x1920.

So yeah,it's probably your drivers, or maybe your desktop isn't set up correctly (all 3 screens should be part of it).

I'm delicious.

I'm certain that the desktop is set up correctly - I'm able to play any game that supports high resolutions at 3240x1920. It's quite difficult to test the resizing of other games since most do not allow you to manually resize the window to any size. However, I'm able to resize applications arbitrarily and I'm also able to resize 3d modelling programs arbitrarily, which indicates to me that EVE is detecting the triple-monitor setup and 'helpfully' restricting itself to a single screen.

I have this problem too, all of a sudden. It sucks because I was used to playing 2 account on 3 monitors, moving all info-windows to the center screen leaving left and right for gameplay :(
So nothing on this yet?

Try using gamer window relocator. It will locate any program to the moniter it is currently on and fit a windowed client perfectly.
