Hi Paul Have you tried swapping the screens to the opposite graphics card they're on now? Try that and see how it goes.
You can also try removing the preference files from your User library (Hold down Option key and click on Go menu in the Finder then choose Library from the drop down menu). Remove to the desktop (and if doesn't fix it you can put them back) com.apple.finder.plist com.apple.systempreferences.plist com.apple.spaces.plist I thought there was another but can't remember it off top of head. (flu brain not helping,….) But try those to start with (restart after removing) and then set up again and see how goes. If no fix, you can always then put them back into the Preferences file again.
