This issue comes from using the programm Actual Multiple Monitors<ref>http://www.actualtools.com/multiplemonitors/</ref> for multi monitor setups. This can either by fixed by simply closing the program or setting the Anno2070.exe as an exclusion in the Window Settings Tab of Actual Multiple Monitors.
