I have recently tested it on my work machine and have not been able to reproduce the problem. I will continue to test it on my home machine this week and see if I can isolate the issue.

Thanks for the followup.

We'll review the logs and see what we can figure out.

I still haven't been able to reproduce it here. I can get the monitor selector overlay to show behind the taskbar, but when the Chrome window itself gets moved and maximized, it ends up in the proper spot, giving room for the taskbar. Are you just dragging the whole Chrome window from the right split to the left split, or are you tearing out a tab from Chrome and dropping it on the left split? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/vertical-taskbar-and-screen-spliting/?ID=11da0f52-af9a-4833-9375-36059d1df934#9 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 09:18:13 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/vertical-taskbar-and-screen-spliting/?ID=11da0f52-af9a-4833-9375-36059d1df934#9 DisplayFusion Hi Keith,

Yes i am 7.0B5.

Attached are the requested log files. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/vertical-taskbar-and-screen-spliting/?ID=11da0f52-af9a-4833-9375-36059d1df934#8 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 19:40:46 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/vertical-taskbar-and-screen-spliting/?ID=11da0f52-af9a-4833-9375-36059d1df934#8 DisplayFusion Ok, have you tried the latest 7.0 Beta version (http://www.displayfusion.com/Download/Beta/) to see if this still happens? I'm not able to reproduce this issue here with 7.0 Beta 5.

If you still have this issue with the latest beta, could you attach a debug log? Here are the steps:

• On the Troubleshooting tab, change the Logging drop-down to "Logging: Important Only"
• Restart DisplayFusion
• Reproduce the issue and note the time so we'll know where to check in the log file
• Attach the DisplayFusion.log and DebugInfo.html files (can be found by clicking the Open Log button on the Troubleshooting tab)
• Disable debug logging

Yes, if you use the normal "Aero" snapping built into Windows 7, the window will not go behind the taskbar. However, as displayfusion's snapping and window management is more powerful, I would prefer to use it over the built-in Windows window management.

Attached is a screenshot. This can be reproduced by maximising a window. This makes the window fill the displayfusion virtual screen.

any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

However, when I let go of the mouse button, the application properly maximizes without going behind the taskbar. On your system, does the application itself actually end up behind the taskbar? If so, could you send a screenshot? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/vertical-taskbar-and-screen-spliting/?ID=11da0f52-af9a-4833-9375-36059d1df934#5 Sat, 11 Oct 2014 00:28:28 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/vertical-taskbar-and-screen-spliting/?ID=11da0f52-af9a-4833-9375-36059d1df934#5 DisplayFusion Thanks for your help Keith,

I have upgraded to the 7.0 beta and the problem still exists.

I have attached some screenshots showing the problem in action -- specifically the shot showing screen 2.1. This shows how the default actions is to snap the window to exactly half of the left side of the screen, meaning the window will cover the taskbar.

Still couldn't reproduce this here, but I was testing with the latest 7.0 Beta.

I am having a problem setting up my screen splits.

The attached jpeg shows my problem.

Basically, I have one horizontal split and my taskbar, docked to the left hand side of the screen. The expected behaviour would be that the taskbar would create some sort of excluded area on the left side of the screen and the remaining space would then be split into 2 areas. instead, the split areas use the whole width of the screen and the taskbar sits over the top.

Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this? am I missing a config setting somewhere?

Thanks,
-dan ]]>
