I see you have 2 computers listed in your signature, is the same thing happening on both machines ? (Yes it is happening on both machines)

If so, do you use the same external cables and hardware to connect to the external ? (I have no external hardware what so ever, I connect 1 computer to the singers TV via a svideo to rca cable, and the other via a VGA to RCA convertor).

When you refer to your preview screen are you referring to the small screen that the default would be fixed in the top left hand window or the singers screen that would show on the external monitor ? (Correct)

If you are referring to the singers screen, that one would expand to cover your main screen if you double click it, double clicking it again should shrink it back to where you placed it.
If you have an external monitor attached for your singers screen then double clicking it should send it to your external monitor.(No the main/singers screen is fine, it is the preview screen that can be locked in the top left hand corner that covers the singers screen, but only when it is undocked, it just automatically for some reason moves over to the singers TV and covers up teh singers screen. The show still goes on as the singer can still see the words, but there is no display screen on the laptop screen for teh host to see.)

Now if this is the screen you are referring to then I reckon you have something wrong with the connection to the external monitor and as it loses signal causes it to jump back to your computer in full screen mode.

So my next question is how are you connecting to the second monitor ?
(1 computer is connecting through a Svideo to RCA connector, the other is connecting through a VGA to RCA convertor)

I have had no problems with this before upgrading to 5.xx.
Any advice is appreciated.

Try switching the screens. I had a similar problem and switching them solved that problem.
However, I work on my laptop at home without hooking it up to a second monitor but don't make any changes to my settings. So, I have the singers display small enough so tht it sits just next to my Playlist. When I double-click while rehearsing, it covers my laptop screen, and double-clicking will put it back. (when I hook it up to a 2nd monitor, double-clicking sends it to the other monitor). The new problem I see now is that when I am not using a 2nd monitor - when I double-click to make it cover my laptop, the Playlist is covered except for the Preview Window is on top of my full screen. It does not stay locked on the Playlist, no matter what. This never happened before.
