Bug? Unpredictable Behavior with Adding Displays as Inputs

Howdy. I've had a lot of confusion with some unpredictable behavior when I try to add a monitor display as an input. I kinda got it to work, but I'm trying to understand why this happens. See the image below for reference. It shows two "duplicate" inputs where I tried to add the display as an input and it displays my other monitor sideways and cropped, but when I go to add the same monitor again, it adds correctly. I have a 2 monitor setup, and one of the monitors is in portrait mode (vertical), and this seems to be the culprit. I wonder if VMIX makes some assumptions about all displays based off of primary? Because to my system, my vertical monitor is monitor 1, and the display I'm trying to add is monitor 2. Is this a bug? And sadly, even after getting it right, once I restart vmix, it reverts to the cropped/sideways, but I can right click on input and select Display 1 and it fixes it, so there's some weird mismatch between my system's ideas of what monitor 1 and 2 are and VMIX's labeling. They're reversed.

This is due to limitations of how things work behind the scenes. Windows only supports a small number of GPU accelerated desktop captures, any more than that limit and vMix has to revert to other means to capture the display. Windows may have the displays in different orders depending on what method used.
