Running Win 8.1 64bit with a 1080p and a 1280x1024 screen.
On the 1080p screen I have the main map on full screen. on the 1280 screen I have the floating panels. When I go so save the game, the dialog that verifies that I want to save my gave is no where to be seen. I no longer can select anything and have to End Task WIF.
Anyone with a similar setup not having issues?

On your second screen, make sure the main form is located at the top of the screen and it isn't directly on the left hand corner too. Put it somewhere as in the screen layout I'm posting now (that's a single screen one, but for multiple screens, it should be in about the same position). This is in most cases the source of the problem you are having, since the main form seems to give directions on what form goes where...

Yes, your setup is very similar to what I have to use since WIF isn't properly supporting 2 screens.
Thanks!

Try to move the detailed map unto the second monitor and see what happens. You should be OK if you only put the detailed map on the second monitor with the mainform on the first one.

I have the main map on my 24" on the left, and the main form upper middle on a 17" on the right. Works perfectly.

Just curious - which one does Windows think is the "Primary" monitor? (I bet its the 17" one.)

Nope - the 24"
I had problems when the Main form was in the upper left corner of the 17". But they are all gone now it is off-set more to the middle.
Here's a screenshot:
