After briefly testing old versions, I can say that it works fine in 10.1.2, but does not since 11.0 and subsequent versions. ]]> RE: multi-monitor taskbar shortcuts are not focused when opened https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-taskbar-shortcuts-are-not-focused-when-opened/?ID=018e8cb7-8917-70c1-ac83-c80405a0fec5#16 Tue, 03 Sep 2024 14:21:08 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-taskbar-shortcuts-are-not-focused-when-opened/?ID=018e8cb7-8917-70c1-ac83-c80405a0fec5#16 DisplayFusion It happens all the time now. It seemed to be working, immediately after installing the latest beta,but I guess that was a fluke.

Can you please try opening multiple files from the df taskbar shortcuts on a secondary monitor. You should be able to reproduce this. It seems to always happen with txt documents. Sometimes the first open works correctly, but subsequent files do not focus. ]]> RE: multi-monitor taskbar shortcuts are not focused when opened https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-taskbar-shortcuts-are-not-focused-when-opened/?ID=018e8cb7-8917-70c1-ac83-c80405a0fec5#5 Thu, 25 Apr 2024 13:47:26 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-taskbar-shortcuts-are-not-focused-when-opened/?ID=018e8cb7-8917-70c1-ac83-c80405a0fec5#5 DisplayFusion Could you send me over a debug log? Here are the steps:

  • On the DisplayFusion Settings > Troubleshooting tab, change the Logging drop-down to "L1: Log Minimal" and click Apply
  • Reproduce the issue and note the time so we'll know where to check in the log file
  • Click the "Export Info to File" button on the Settings > Troubleshooting tab
  • Reply with the file attached
  • Disable debug logging after sending the log

It seems to work sometimes. But more often not. To test it, try to open more than one file from the taskbar and you'll see. The first one seems to focus, but after that it's not working again. ]]> RE: multi-monitor taskbar shortcuts are not focused when opened https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-taskbar-shortcuts-are-not-focused-when-opened/?ID=018e8cb7-8917-70c1-ac83-c80405a0fec5#3 Wed, 24 Apr 2024 15:16:23 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-taskbar-shortcuts-are-not-focused-when-opened/?ID=018e8cb7-8917-70c1-ac83-c80405a0fec5#3 DisplayFusion We've released a new beta that should fix this up, please let me know if you run into any issues after updating.

For example, an excel-sheet. Now if I click this it opens, but then is not focused. So I open it and type something, but it doesn't work because it's not focused. I have to click the window first. No other window is focused either. For example, pressing alt-f4 after opening one of these shortcuts does nothing. ]]>
