I could swear this started working with Beta 4(!), but I will pay attention the next time I run the failing scenario next Tuesday and report then.

We've just released a new DisplayFusion Beta version and this issue should be all fixed up. Please let us know if you run into any trouble after updating.

Thanks!

The answer is... yes. The first time I press the retore button, DF moves Thunderbird to the proper monitor with the proper x-y position of its upper-left corner. I waited for repositioning to end, then pressed the restore button again. DF then restored Thunderbird's former size.

HTH!

PS: It appears the issue occurs only when I am using two monitors remotely, my 2012 Macbook Pro (retina) plus 1920x1200 DELL monitor in portrait mode. I brought the Macbook to work Friday, but couldn't reproduce the error. Monday I used both monitors remotely with Remote Desktop, and Tuesday morning when I returned to the office to use my four monitor setup, I reproduced the issue.

Sadly, not so quick. Tomorrow I run remotely and Friday I will be back into the office to see the error. Will test on Friday.

Strange! Quick test: if you run the Restore Window Positions function twice, does it set the size correctly the second time?

I've noticed this for years 😳, but I figured I should finally report it. Restore Window Positions successfully restores every window size, position, and monitor except Thunderbird (and that includes its sibling program, Firefox). I switch between 4 monitors in the office to 1 or 2 monitors using Remote Desktop. For some reason, Thunderbird comes back squished when I restore to the 4 office monitors, as if the width were being ignored. See the attached. Left is actual result and right is expected previous size.
