I'm showing(not auto-hide) the windows taskbar, but settings transparency to 0 using nircmd.

I managed to work around the issue slightly, by setting the taskbar to autohide and then back, but there is still an offset.

See both attachments.

You don't need to "fix" it for now - just add an offset in the advanced settings. Solves all my problems. ]]> RE: Broken splits, ghost splits, overlapping taskbars, start menu offset https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/broken-splits-ghost-splits-overlapping-taskbars-start-menu-offset/?ID=14d00611-fbbb-4faf-b54e-0581006801d5#35 Wed, 24 Apr 2024 14:47:40 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/broken-splits-ghost-splits-overlapping-taskbars-start-menu-offset/?ID=14d00611-fbbb-4faf-b54e-0581006801d5#35 DisplayFusion Could you send me a copy of your troubleshooting info?

The issues come back at 150% scaling - windows snap incorrectly, splits stop working, the DF shortcut near the minimize, maximize and close icons becomes offset again, etc. When I swapped back to 100% after saving the diagnostics everything went back to normal. ]]> RE: Broken splits, ghost splits, overlapping taskbars, start menu offset https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/broken-splits-ghost-splits-overlapping-taskbars-start-menu-offset/?ID=14d00611-fbbb-4faf-b54e-0581006801d5#29 Thu, 02 Dec 2021 16:12:13 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/broken-splits-ghost-splits-overlapping-taskbars-start-menu-offset/?ID=14d00611-fbbb-4faf-b54e-0581006801d5#29 DisplayFusion That's really strange, but I'm glad to hear you found the issue! Setting scaling above 100% definitely shouldn't be causing these issues. Could you send me over another copy of your troubleshooting info when your scaling is set to 100%?

Also just to confirm, if you switch back to 150%, does the issue come back?

I did a full uninstall of Teamviewer - no improvement on the issue unfortunately.

I did have an idea though, and remembered that windows by default changes the scaling of text for certain monitor sizes. Changing the scale to 100% seems to have solved the issue (although it does make the cursor and text uncomfortably small and difficult to read).

That said, would it be possible to add support for monitor scaling in future versions of DisplayFusion? As happy as I am to be able to use DF's features properly now, it is difficult to use most apps at 100% scale with high PPI monitors.

Thanks for offering your help over the last few months! I hope me finding the solution can help other users with similar issues. ]]> RE: Broken splits, ghost splits, overlapping taskbars, start menu offset https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/broken-splits-ghost-splits-overlapping-taskbars-start-menu-offset/?ID=14d00611-fbbb-4faf-b54e-0581006801d5#27 Wed, 01 Dec 2021 19:34:11 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/broken-splits-ghost-splits-overlapping-taskbars-start-menu-offset/?ID=14d00611-fbbb-4faf-b54e-0581006801d5#27 DisplayFusion Hello,

Thanks for sending that over. Can you try uninstalling TeamViewer and see if the issue persists? Sometimes the driver it installs can cause issues.

Let me know if that helps.

Sorry for the delay. Could you actually try opening Device Manager, and enable "Show Hidden Devices" in the "View" tab, and see if there are any virtual adapters listed under the "Display Adapters" section?

Hi,
The tool doesn't seem to be working. Just to check, the correct file to run is "BFCustomerTest.exe"? Unzipping the folder and running the file normally and in administrator mode doesn't seem to do anything. ]]> RE: Broken splits, ghost splits, overlapping taskbars, start menu offset https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/broken-splits-ghost-splits-overlapping-taskbars-start-menu-offset/?ID=14d00611-fbbb-4faf-b54e-0581006801d5#16 Thu, 21 Oct 2021 15:52:36 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/broken-splits-ghost-splits-overlapping-taskbars-start-menu-offset/?ID=14d00611-fbbb-4faf-b54e-0581006801d5#16 DisplayFusion Hello,

This issue is definitely stemming from DisplayFusion not being able to read your monitor information.

What model of monitors, and graphics card are you using?
