It seems like some kind of weird race condition. I will put a ticket on our list to delay loading of titlebar buttons on the Spotify window a bit to see if that helps. I'll keep you posted when we have a beta available with that change made. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/spotify-titlebar-buttons-appear-on-the-wrong-monitor/?ID=17e643a5-8813-487b-89e1-83a476bc6034#17 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 19:30:19 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/spotify-titlebar-buttons-appear-on-the-wrong-monitor/?ID=17e643a5-8813-487b-89e1-83a476bc6034#17 DisplayFusion I did a couple of restarts to be sure only the Enable Titlebar Buttons option has any effect on startup and it's definitely the case that if that option is enabled AND both DF and Spotify launch with windows, the weird positioning happens.

If I enable the titlebar buttons after Spotify has already launched nothing weird happens, everything remains in place. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/spotify-titlebar-buttons-appear-on-the-wrong-monitor/?ID=17e643a5-8813-487b-89e1-83a476bc6034#16 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 18:43:19 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/spotify-titlebar-buttons-appear-on-the-wrong-monitor/?ID=17e643a5-8813-487b-89e1-83a476bc6034#16 DisplayFusion Wow, interesting! How about if you re-enable the TitleBar Buttons after Spotify has already launched? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/spotify-titlebar-buttons-appear-on-the-wrong-monitor/?ID=17e643a5-8813-487b-89e1-83a476bc6034#15 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 18:00:50 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/spotify-titlebar-buttons-appear-on-the-wrong-monitor/?ID=17e643a5-8813-487b-89e1-83a476bc6034#15 DisplayFusion Disabling triggers has no effect, but it does not happen if I disable Titlebar buttons! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/spotify-titlebar-buttons-appear-on-the-wrong-monitor/?ID=17e643a5-8813-487b-89e1-83a476bc6034#14 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 17:33:44 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/spotify-titlebar-buttons-appear-on-the-wrong-monitor/?ID=17e643a5-8813-487b-89e1-83a476bc6034#14 DisplayFusion Wow, I'm really stumped here! If you disable some DisplayFusion features, like TitleBar Buttons and Triggers, does that make any difference? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/spotify-titlebar-buttons-appear-on-the-wrong-monitor/?ID=17e643a5-8813-487b-89e1-83a476bc6034#13 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 17:12:52 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/spotify-titlebar-buttons-appear-on-the-wrong-monitor/?ID=17e643a5-8813-487b-89e1-83a476bc6034#13 DisplayFusion I tried disabling DF on startup last week, but I tested again today just to be sure.
DF has updated to 9.4 beta 3 without any change in behaviour.

If DisplayFusion is not started at launch but Spotify is, Windows opens with Spotify behaving normally (all buttons on the titlebar, attached to the window). Nothing changes to the Spotify window when I then start DF except that the extra titlebar buttons are added.

If Spotify is not started at launch but DF is, when I open Spotify after logging into Windows it behaves normally.

It's only when both are set to launch with Windows that I get this odd behaviour. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/spotify-titlebar-buttons-appear-on-the-wrong-monitor/?ID=17e643a5-8813-487b-89e1-83a476bc6034#12 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 16:49:49 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/spotify-titlebar-buttons-appear-on-the-wrong-monitor/?ID=17e643a5-8813-487b-89e1-83a476bc6034#12 DisplayFusion Thanks, yeah I don't see anything in the log indicating that DisplayFusion is moving the window, so that's good at least. And to 100% confirm, if DisplayFusion doesn't run at startup, this issue doesn't occur?

What if you disable DisplayFusion from startup, wait for Spotify to open, then launch DisplayFusion manually? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/spotify-titlebar-buttons-appear-on-the-wrong-monitor/?ID=17e643a5-8813-487b-89e1-83a476bc6034#11 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 14:56:41 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/spotify-titlebar-buttons-appear-on-the-wrong-monitor/?ID=17e643a5-8813-487b-89e1-83a476bc6034#11 DisplayFusion Here's the log. Spotify opened at 16:48, almost on the dot (no more than 6 or 7 seconds into the minute).

The moment the Spotify window is being drawn, I already see the titlebar buttons on the other (wrong) monitor, I don't see them jump or anything like that.

/Edit: the Spotify window has the class Chrome_WidgetWin_0. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/spotify-titlebar-buttons-appear-on-the-wrong-monitor/?ID=17e643a5-8813-487b-89e1-83a476bc6034#10 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 14:42:20 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/spotify-titlebar-buttons-appear-on-the-wrong-monitor/?ID=17e643a5-8813-487b-89e1-83a476bc6034#10 DisplayFusion Wow, that's super weird! Could you send me a debug log? I'd like to see if the log shows DisplayFusion moving the window on startup. Here are the steps:

• On the DisplayFusion Settings > Troubleshooting tab, change the Logging drop-down to "L1: Log Minimal" and click Apply
• Restart the computer and note the time that Spotify starts up
• Click the "Export Info to File" button on the Settings > Troubleshooting tab
• Reply with the file attached and the time that Spotify started
• Disable debug logging after sending the log

I tested it anyway since I saw your reply in email first: setting DisplayFusion to not start with Windows results in Spotify opening normally, with its titlebar buttons attached to the window.

Re-enabling DF and restarting Windows gets me the weird hovering buttons again, so it appears to only happen when both Spotify and DF are set to launch with Windows. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/spotify-titlebar-buttons-appear-on-the-wrong-monitor/?ID=17e643a5-8813-487b-89e1-83a476bc6034#2 Mon, 17 Sep 2018 17:59:09 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/spotify-titlebar-buttons-appear-on-the-wrong-monitor/?ID=17e643a5-8813-487b-89e1-83a476bc6034#2 DisplayFusion If you disable the "Start with Windows" option in DisplayFusion, then restart, does the same issue happen with the Spotify window?

Edit: I misread your original post, just realized you're talking about the TitleBar Buttons, not the caption buttons. I'll test this out here and see what I can find out.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/spotify-titlebar-buttons-appear-on-the-wrong-monitor/?ID=17e643a5-8813-487b-89e1-83a476bc6034 Mon, 17 Sep 2018 13:31:54 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/spotify-titlebar-buttons-appear-on-the-wrong-monitor/?ID=17e643a5-8813-487b-89e1-83a476bc6034 DisplayFusion I use DisplayFusion 9.4 beta 2 (Steam) on Windows 10 and have a minor issue with Spotify (exe, not UWP).

When my system starts Spotify is set to automatically launch, but when it does the main window appears on my left-most monitor but its titlebar buttons (pin, minimize, maximize, close) are not drawn on the window but instead appear on my centre (main/taskbar) monitor.

Once I interact with any of these buttons they jump to the Spotify window and there is no more issue. I also cannot reproduce the issue if I close Spotify and launch it in the same Windows session. ]]>
