But the moment I exited Aquasnap The problem stopped.

There's still definitely something weird in DisplayFusion because the always on top and Transparency were definitely things DisplayFusion was enabling. Aquasnap is just a better way to snap applications edges next to each other.

Regardless, problem is resolved for now, let me know if there's any info I can provide you if you want to look into why aquasnap was causing DisplayFusion to be funky. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/dragging-windows-randomly-toggles-always-on-top-andor-window-transparency/?ID=5aca3712-0621-4545-8963-49ff891b63cb#3 Wed, 04 Jan 2017 15:38:22 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/dragging-windows-randomly-toggles-always-on-top-andor-window-transparency/?ID=5aca3712-0621-4545-8963-49ff891b63cb#3 DisplayFusion Update:I did some procedural testing to try and reproduce it. I can't get it 100%, but I've reproduced it a variety of different ways.

It happens when on my monitor that is not a displayport monitor (so I doubt that's the root cause)

It happens without crossing the threshold between one monitor to another.

It happens more often when dragging a window at high speeds, but with slow circles for a long enough period of time it will still sometimes happen.

Which means, I isolated the behavior to nothing . Is there some type of logging I can post or enable that might give you more insight?

Previous post:
Yes, it's also persisted through full system restarts.

I will say that I've noticed some other things behave funny because of this so i'll throw it out there.

My triple monitor setup uses 2 displays that are in a master > slave displayport chain. Meaning I have a monitor with displayport 1.2 enabled plugged into the computer, and another (identical monitor) using displayport 1.1 plugged into the 1.2 monitor.

I'm not sure if that's the cause of the funnyness or not, but it was the only way I could set up all 3 monitors because of which cords/ports I had available on my computer at the time. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/dragging-windows-randomly-toggles-always-on-top-andor-window-transparency/?ID=5aca3712-0621-4545-8963-49ff891b63cb#2 Wed, 04 Jan 2017 14:11:24 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/dragging-windows-randomly-toggles-always-on-top-andor-window-transparency/?ID=5aca3712-0621-4545-8963-49ff891b63cb#2 DisplayFusion That's really strange, DisplayFusion definitely doesn't have any mouse gestures functionality. If you exit DisplayFusion do those things still happen? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/dragging-windows-randomly-toggles-always-on-top-andor-window-transparency/?ID=5aca3712-0621-4545-8963-49ff891b63cb Fri, 30 Dec 2016 18:44:21 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/dragging-windows-randomly-toggles-always-on-top-andor-window-transparency/?ID=5aca3712-0621-4545-8963-49ff891b63cb DisplayFusion Through extensive testing and troubleshooting on my own, I can't for the life of me figure out why it's doing it. Sometimes as I drag a window it will toggle on window transparency, always on top, or both.

It's almost getting to the point that I'm just going to stop using DF. So, what am I missing?
I've looked through all the settings and I can't find anything related to mouse gestures to toggle window functions.

Please, send help! ]]>
