We'll let you know as soon as we're able to get that fixed up as well

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/re-split-window-taskbar-issues/?ID=44b36df1-bbcc-4f34-9e29-e840312b33e9#13 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 17:48:11 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/re-split-window-taskbar-issues/?ID=44b36df1-bbcc-4f34-9e29-e840312b33e9#13 DisplayFusion Things seem to be aligning better with 7.2 beta 2. One application that is not is Visual Studio 2013. It is extending past the dividers on the left, right, and bottom. This is at 100% dpi scaling. I will check a higher dpi scaling and report back. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/re-split-window-taskbar-issues/?ID=44b36df1-bbcc-4f34-9e29-e840312b33e9#12 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 20:22:30 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/re-split-window-taskbar-issues/?ID=44b36df1-bbcc-4f34-9e29-e840312b33e9#12 DisplayFusion Ok, Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/re-split-window-taskbar-issues/?ID=44b36df1-bbcc-4f34-9e29-e840312b33e9#11 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 19:19:18 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/re-split-window-taskbar-issues/?ID=44b36df1-bbcc-4f34-9e29-e840312b33e9#11 DisplayFusion Thanks! I was able to reproduce this here using your monitor configuration

I've added this to our list, and we'll be sure to let you know when it's all fixed up. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/re-split-window-taskbar-issues/?ID=44b36df1-bbcc-4f34-9e29-e840312b33e9#10 Mon, 05 Jan 2015 19:59:48 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/re-split-window-taskbar-issues/?ID=44b36df1-bbcc-4f34-9e29-e840312b33e9#10 DisplayFusion Here is the monitor config screenshots. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/re-split-window-taskbar-issues/?ID=44b36df1-bbcc-4f34-9e29-e840312b33e9#9 Mon, 05 Jan 2015 19:57:04 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/re-split-window-taskbar-issues/?ID=44b36df1-bbcc-4f34-9e29-e840312b33e9#9 DisplayFusion Can you attach a screenshot of your DisplayFusion Monitor Configuration window? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/re-split-window-taskbar-issues/?ID=44b36df1-bbcc-4f34-9e29-e840312b33e9#8 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 21:14:15 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/re-split-window-taskbar-issues/?ID=44b36df1-bbcc-4f34-9e29-e840312b33e9#8 DisplayFusion Remote Desktop Manager Enterprise, Hyper-V Manager, Failover Cluster Manager all maximize to about 3/4 screen instead of the designated screen split area.

After installing the beta for 7.1 Office seems to be working better. It still overflows the split area a little bit, but not near as bad as it was. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/re-split-window-taskbar-issues/?ID=44b36df1-bbcc-4f34-9e29-e840312b33e9#7 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 19:29:18 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/re-split-window-taskbar-issues/?ID=44b36df1-bbcc-4f34-9e29-e840312b33e9#7 DisplayFusion Ok, could you list some of the other apps that seem to run into trouble? I've tested your setup again here with Word and Excel 2013, and everything works as expected.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/re-split-window-taskbar-issues/?ID=44b36df1-bbcc-4f34-9e29-e840312b33e9#6 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 19:55:48 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/re-split-window-taskbar-issues/?ID=44b36df1-bbcc-4f34-9e29-e840312b33e9#6 DisplayFusion Yes. I am using Windows 10 Tech Preview on a desktop and the other user is using Windows 8.1 on a Surface Pro 3. We have tried both the DPI scaling and the let windows automatically adjust for each monitor option. Some apps work fine others aren't even close. When the DPI is set to 100% everything works correctly. The worst culprit seems to be Office 365. I have attached the troubleshooting section for Windows 10. I will get the other one shortly. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/re-split-window-taskbar-issues/?ID=44b36df1-bbcc-4f34-9e29-e840312b33e9#5 Tue, 30 Dec 2014 16:50:42 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/re-split-window-taskbar-issues/?ID=44b36df1-bbcc-4f34-9e29-e840312b33e9#5 DisplayFusion @Kasa: Are they also using DPI scaling in Windows 8? Could you attach a copy of the info from the DisplayFusion Settings > Troubleshooting tab on one of the affected machines?

We just purchased v7 Pro. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/re-split-window-taskbar-issues/?ID=44b36df1-bbcc-4f34-9e29-e840312b33e9#3 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 17:37:12 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/re-split-window-taskbar-issues/?ID=44b36df1-bbcc-4f34-9e29-e840312b33e9#3 DisplayFusion I can't seem to reproduce this here. I've tried 125%, 150%, and the various slider settings if the "Let me choose one scaling level" option is disabled, and it seems to work fine with all of them. Could you tell me exactly what DPI scaling level you've got it set to? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/re-split-window-taskbar-issues/?ID=44b36df1-bbcc-4f34-9e29-e840312b33e9#2 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 23:51:07 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/re-split-window-taskbar-issues/?ID=44b36df1-bbcc-4f34-9e29-e840312b33e9#2 DisplayFusion Hello, I managed to work out that this is to do with the new DPI scaling function in Windows 8.1 which I had activated due to using very high resolution screens. Seems that DF is not DPI scaling compliant. I turned this function off in Windows 8.1 and now the split screen works as expected and windows do not go under the taskbar. I have set my scaling for all monitors at 125% which is not great as I do prefer the DPI scaling function as it gives a better and more readable display especially at UHD (3840 x 2160).

Hopefully this is something that can be fixed in a new release.

However now when I set my 2nd monitor to horizontal split 2 the windows do not fit into the frames 1.1 and 1.2 and also the windows sits under the taskbar. I use Start8 1.45. I added a new UHD monitor so 3840 x 2160 res and have a Dell U2711 at 2560 x 1440. I am dragging the windows and as mentioned I can see the frames clearly as 1.1 and 1.2 but as you can see from the screenshots the moved window is the wrong size and does not fit into either 1.1 or 1.2 frame and also sits under the taskbar. I tried using the inbuilt taskbar with the same issue. I am using the latest Beta as I thought it might fix it and prior to that was on the current release version 6. Using AMD Radeon drivers 14.9.

Appreciate any help.

Thanks
