I am not 100% sure if it's displayfusion's fault, but what else could it be? So I finally decided to ask here for help.

  • It seems that most of the time, when I lauch a program - the window is not restored to the exact previous position. It either has some weird padding around it, or it gets moved slightly to either side or top/down.

  • I have 2, an ultra-wide primary and a vertical secondary, monitors. And I use 2 simple profiles: single monitor and dual-monitor, which pretty much enables/disables the secondary vertical monitor.

I will try to demostrate both of these problems, using 2 windows:
Tabs Outliner (a chrome extension) window.
Chrome window with a single blank tab.

1. I begin with the single-monitor profile. Both windows are in proper size and position.
Tabs Outliner is docked to the left and
Chrome is docked to the right side of the monitor.

2. I closed and re-opened the Tabs Outliner window.
Tabs Outliner window was padded on the left side by 7 pixels. :x

Here is a screenshot of a diff between the numbers reported by the Window Inspector.

3. I switch to the double-monitor profile.

4. Just by switching the monitor profile:
Tabs Ouliner gets additionally padded on the bottom. :x
Chrome gets padded on the right and the bottom. :x :x

Help, please. Is this a DiplayFusion problem? I cannot think of anything else causing this.

This constant problem is really driving me crazy.

I am attaching Windows Inspector outputs for both windows and all the steps. ]]>
