I've had a 3 monitor setup for a while, at least since using DFv9.
My 2nd monitor is on a HDMI switcher as I use that with my work laptop on occasion.

This is my standard montior layout on my PC:

On my normal PC 3 monitor setup, I have the windows taskbar on Montor 1, and DF taskbars on monitors 2 and 3.
Taskbars on monitors 2 and 3 both have different pinned programs.

Mon2:

Mon3:

Previously, if I switched monitor 2 to be connected to my laptop by using the HDMI switch, my PC would revert to using only 2 monitors, Mon 1 and 3. When I switched back, Monitor 2 would re-appear and all was as before.

Since a recent update, pinned programs are now not functioning as before.
If I do the switch now, when I switch Monitor 2 back into my system, the pinned programs for Mon2 are replaced with those from Mon3, so I end up with both Mon2 and Mon 3 taskbars looking like this:

Mon2:

Mon3:

Each taskbar is seperate, I can delete a pinned icon off Mon2 and it stays on Mon3 so its not like its displaying the same toolbar on both monitors.

Whatever recent change has been made seems to be overwriting or losing pinned program info, as up until recently I have had 0 issues with pinned programs changing when disconnecting the monitor by using the HDMI switch. ]]>
