I'm not sure if this is a bug, but I see that some years ago others have 
reported odd behaviour with Skim on a second monitor.  

I have an external screen attached to the display port on of my macbook pro.

I use Skim to view PDFs as I'm creating them with TeX.  I have Skim set to auto 
update.

If the Skim window is on the macbook screen, it all works normally (as it has 
done for years).
But if I put Skim on the external monitor, I get one update, then all 
subsequent updates are ignored, and I have to go and click "Revert" in the Skim 
menus to force a change. 

I first noticed this on High Sierra when 1.4.38 came out.  
I've recently upgraded to Mojave but the behaviour is the same.  I don't think 
I saw this behaviour on 1.4.37 but I only used that for a couple of days before 
upgrading to 1.4.38 for the scroll to page 1 bug fix.  I am quite sure I did 
not see this behaviour on 1.4.36.

Any clues about what might be causing this?  My work around is to move my 
editor to the big screen and keep skim on the macbook screen, but I'd like to 
have it the other way.

Thanks 
Toby Thurston
