It's not really a bug, but I think it would improve the user experience if the behaviour of the fullscreen mode might be changed a little for dual monitors.
1. Silverlight fullscreen opens always on the main monitor, no mather on which monitor the "source" window is displayed. In my opinion it would be better to use the monitor on which the silverlight application is displayed in normal mode.
2. Changing to a different application makes the fullscreen mode disappear (I know, this is not a bug, but by design). It maked sense to let the user work on the secondary monitor (or the first, if silverlight fullscreen is on the secondary) and let him/her
watch for example a video on the other monitor. Think about screencasts, where you could then watch on one monitor in fullscreen mode and work in visual studio on the other one.
