Resolution issues, minimizing other programs on start (multiple display workstation)

I use multiple (3) displays, and have a few complaints about the handling of display resolutions that I hope can be updated or modified for my computer.

First of all, when I run the game in windowed menu mode, I can no longer select the full resolution of my main display for in game use. Ill get the generic resolutions, but I only see the option for the native resolution of my display when the menu is in full screen mode. It is greyed out and I am unable to select it in windowed mode.

The next issue I have always faced is that when I'm in the server/room menu the resolution is different than the in game resolution when it is in full screen mode. Once I join a game, anything I'm monitoring on my other two displays always gets re positioned when I go between in-game and menu This wouldn't be an issue at all if my first problem is fixed allowing me to use native resolutions when in-game and also allowing me to use windowed mode in the menu.

The 3rd thing is not a huge deal, but when I start crossfire, It always automatically minimizes every window I have open. I hate this and have to manually restore each window on my other two monitors after starting the game.

I would really appreciate it if someone on the dev team (or other) could point me in the direction of a solution to some or all of these issues. Ill check the config file in documents, but I'm not sure if there are any options there which will help in my situation. I know crossfire probably isn't designed to be run on a workstation with multiple displays, but it is becoming more common with gamers these days and it would be great to see some compatibility options for this. I have two friends who also have voiced annoyance to me over the things I have listed here due to using multiple displays.
