Ok, another day, another report for you.

Yesterday I had to finally just stop using the DL attached monitor. Every now and then (maybe every 30 minutes or so) both of my screens would black momentarily and then reset and come back on. But when they did this, they dropped all of the windows off the DL screen back to the onboard monitor. I finally got fed up and just stopped using the other screen for anything I was working on. But it did continue to happen throughout the day. I'd put one finder window there and then sometime within the next 30-45 minutes it would blip and then that window would move over.

Today, however, is a new day with 10.12.2 downloaded and installed. At this point, it seems to have been working pretty stable most of the day. I have not seen that same issue where it blanks and resets at all today.

I do still have the artifacts in the search boxes as reported earlier. I can actually take a window and span it across both screens and when I get to about 60% on the DL screen the artifact (even if on the non-DL screen) appears.

New issue is that I'm seeing the windows losing little pieces of their display and showing artifacts as I drag my mouse across them like luckman212 reported back on 12/8. However, performance seems pretty nice on this. I can tell the difference between the DL and the non-DL monitors but its really not terribly different now in speed and responsiveness. It is quite usable and I'm forcing myself to actually put windows on the DL screen and use them for the sake of these reports and getting the driver to be all it can be ;-).
