Power failure takes out screen#4 of mine, bringing me from 3 to 4.

My 2-row primary screen taskbar is now 1 row. The icons are now centered. It has taken all the properties of the dead screen.

My 4ᵗʰ screen? It now has the 2-row taskbar i'd assigned to my primary screen

My 3ʳᵈ screen? It now has the HIDDEN taskbar i'd assigned to my 4ᵗʰ screen.

It's always been like this. It's like the program just looks for "monitor #" without any acknowledgement that in the real world monitor#x isn't always the same screen.

If i simply turn the power off of scree #4, that monitor ceases to exist.

Because DisplayFusion absolutely cannot handle this situation no matter how many times I bring it up...

...I have to leave that monitor on 24/7/365 or I lose all my windows.

Saving window positions is equally useless. It means absolutely nothing. They won't even be restored to the same monitor.

It's like nobody has ever tested this basic situation that occurs. DisplayPort screens often disappear if you turn off the power.

But yea. Whatever associates window positions and taskbars with a particular screen............. Doesn't.

And it never has.

The extra electricity alone from leaving my screen off likely means the electric company made more off DisplayFusion than my registration free. That's marginally better than using nothing because at least it works some of the time, as long as I gleefully waste my electricity every day.

Any one with an Nvidia card and a displayport TV connected to it is going to have this happen every day. Most serious gamers and AI-users are on Nvidia these days.

And yes, this is with the fresh beta ]]>
