The gap is there because Windows 10 has invisible window borders. If we try to send the command to size the window to the actual top-left corner of the split, Windows thinks the window is on the other monitor and applies the wrong scaling value to the window sizes we give it. The 7px gap is the workaround we had to implement to make it work properly on setups with different scaling levels :( ]]> RE: Chrome windows not maximizing to Split area in v9.4 Beta 3 https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/chrome-windows-not-maximizing-to-split-area-in-v94-beta-3/?ID=3f9f48d5-2c7d-4296-8cb7-15c98ae7f0e4#27 Sat, 29 Dec 2018 18:26:23 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/chrome-windows-not-maximizing-to-split-area-in-v94-beta-3/?ID=3f9f48d5-2c7d-4296-8cb7-15c98ae7f0e4#27 DisplayFusion never noticed any issues with gaps until 9.4.3. seems to affect only 1 monitor and 1 split screen area (attached). The monitor with the gap issue is scaled to 125% and the others to 100%. Changing the problem monitor to 100% scaling fixes the issue. Taskbars have always been at the bottom. Anything I could try? ]]> RE: Chrome windows not maximizing to Split area in v9.4 Beta 3 https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/chrome-windows-not-maximizing-to-split-area-in-v94-beta-3/?ID=3f9f48d5-2c7d-4296-8cb7-15c98ae7f0e4#26 Fri, 28 Dec 2018 20:08:08 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/chrome-windows-not-maximizing-to-split-area-in-v94-beta-3/?ID=3f9f48d5-2c7d-4296-8cb7-15c98ae7f0e4#26 DisplayFusion Yes, the laptop screen is scaled at 125% and the external monitor is 100%.

When I change the taskbar to be at the bottom of my screen there is still a gap on the left side on the external monitor.

With the taskbar on the left side of the screen (which is my preference). the gap is only happening on the external monitor. ]]> RE: Chrome windows not maximizing to Split area in v9.4 Beta 3 https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/chrome-windows-not-maximizing-to-split-area-in-v94-beta-3/?ID=3f9f48d5-2c7d-4296-8cb7-15c98ae7f0e4#25 Fri, 28 Dec 2018 19:30:02 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/chrome-windows-not-maximizing-to-split-area-in-v94-beta-3/?ID=3f9f48d5-2c7d-4296-8cb7-15c98ae7f0e4#25 DisplayFusion Ah, I see it now. Do you have multiple monitors with different scaling values? If so, Windows requires a gap sometimes that is equal to the external invisible border size of 7px. If you use your taskbar on the bottom of the monitor do you have the same issue?

Taskbar-sized gap between the taskbar and the window, apparently only when the taskbar is at the top.

This is annoying. What's more annoying is I can't find a download of 9.3 to get rid of it.

It's leaving a gap to the left and overlapping too far on the right. It's only an issue when my taskbar location is set to be on the left (but that's how I prefer it). I've only noticed it happening with Chrome and not other apps.

Chrome 71 (latest version, default Chrome theme). DisplayFusion Pro 9.4.

Also, I've only been using DisplayFusion for a few days.

UPDATE: I wasn't having this issue at first with 9.3c so I just now uninstalled 9.4 and reinstalled 9.3c and this issue is resolved. So, something in 9.4 is possibly causing this issue for me. ]]> RE: Chrome windows not maximizing to Split area in v9.4 Beta 3 https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/chrome-windows-not-maximizing-to-split-area-in-v94-beta-3/?ID=3f9f48d5-2c7d-4296-8cb7-15c98ae7f0e4#10 Wed, 19 Dec 2018 17:09:10 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/chrome-windows-not-maximizing-to-split-area-in-v94-beta-3/?ID=3f9f48d5-2c7d-4296-8cb7-15c98ae7f0e4#10 DisplayFusion @welshronaldo Glad to hear it, thanks for following up! ]]>
