so saying theres other desktop showing up, or nothing showing up?

if nothing showing toolbar @ top or dock @ bottom, screen has background, operating in extended desktop mode. can drag windows on cinema display. however, post kind of vague , confusing, answer questions first.

have laptop open?

cinema display mirroring laptop display?

cinema display extension of laptop display, can drag example safari window cinema display dragging in direction off of laptop display?

laptop closed (aka clamshell mode) the desktop on cinema display?

see dock or toolbar or on cinema display?
