Finally I had to switch back to 4.3 beta 2. Yes, the latest 4.3 beta 3 works as described, however, during a work day I need to connect/disconnect my MacBookPro 2015 from the monitors multiple times (going to the work meetings and back). Each time I disconnect the laptop and want to use built-in display only, my open windows are left invisible and inaccessible on the virtual DisplayLink screen not shown anywhere and not reachable. When connecting back to the monitors, the screen is mapped back to the real monitor wired over DisplayLink adapter.

Shortly saying, the laptop is hardly usable when disconnected from monitors. I have to go to System Preferences and change the settings to disable/enable DisplayLink AirPlay display, etc. Then the same hassle when connecting the monitors back.

4.3 beta 2 is much more predictable for my usage scenario. I change no settings, just plug/unplug cables and keep my clam-shell slightly open. That is much easier that to toggle the bunch of settings additionally to cable work.
