Type: UI / Launcher / Game itself (none relevant) Bug: Windowed mode doesn't work; I think the launcher launches the game in full-screen mode regardless whether it is Windowed or not (see images)
Reproduction Steps:
Launch the launcher to play Disco
Deactivate "Use Desktop Resolution", leave it at 1440x900 resolution so that I can put the game on my second monitor
The game launches in full-screen (I assume) and I can't move the Freelancer window at all, unless by using Shift + Win + Arrow Key
Have to play the game with an awful resolution instead of the resolution of my second monitor
Additional Information:
I assume the launcher launches Freelancer in fullscreen despite the "Windowed" option being activated on the Launcher.
This is due to the addition of the new FLUF menu which has an option of borderless window, which I believe is set to on by default. To customise this, you need to go to the options menu, and bind the special FLUF options menu button. From there you can disabled borderless windowed mode.

Edit Reason: Followed the steps; added a "list" of things to do to deactivate borderless window.

I must confess that I don't understand much about FLUF for now, but thank you very much, I assume the button is in the game's option and not in the Launcher?
In any case, thank you very much, I will try this later today.
Edit: Indeed; it works, by deselecting "Borderless Window" in the FLUF menu, on the top left of it. Then restarting the game.
Options (in-game)
Controls; User Interface; 3rd option, "OPEN FLUF CONFIG MENU", add a key.
Open the FLUF menu, deselect "Borderless Window", make sure the Launcher has both Windowed Mode on and Use Desktop Resolution off (if you want to use it in your second monitor like I do.).
Restart the game and welcome back the border of the window.
