It's not a bug, that's working as expected. We have it setup so that if the window is not maximized when you start dragging it, it doesn't show the selector overlay. If it is maximized to a split already and you drag it to another one, it should be showing the overlay.

Another function that might help you out is the "Move Window to Different Monitor (show monitor selector)" function on the Settings > Functions tab. You can set that as a TitleBar Button, or assign a key combination to it, and then you can use that to send a window maximized to a different split without having to drag it.

Hope that helps!


Thanks Keith, exactly what I wanted to know, and I went ahead with the functions feature! ]]> RE: [SOLVED] How does the split monitor work? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/solved-how-does-the-split-monitor-work/?ID=6a7c1034-aa77-4fe5-b279-56c646a16f6d#4 Thu, 05 Jul 2018 19:16:08 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/solved-how-does-the-split-monitor-work/?ID=6a7c1034-aa77-4fe5-b279-56c646a16f6d#4 DisplayFusion It's not a bug, that's working as expected.

Hi Alan,

I actually already read through that, before my post, and unfortunately, it didn't help in answering my question.

I guess I should have posed it better, am I dealing with bugs? The UI pop up when dragging windows is not always there, and doesn't always work right in maximizing the window to the split section. Sometimes it works entirely, sometimes it just shows the UI but doesn't maximize, sometimes it doesn't nothing at all, and worst times, it also lags and messes up the window and I can't drag anymore. ]]> RE: [SOLVED] How does the split monitor work? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/solved-how-does-the-split-monitor-work/?ID=6a7c1034-aa77-4fe5-b279-56c646a16f6d#2 Mon, 02 Jul 2018 07:58:32 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/solved-how-does-the-split-monitor-work/?ID=6a7c1034-aa77-4fe5-b279-56c646a16f6d#2 DisplayFusion There is a good explanation here:

That is how I thought DisplayFusion would work but it's not maximizing automatically. I have to drag it to the virtual desktop then hit maximize?

Is that how the feature works? Or is it not functioning correctly?

I'm thinking it's the latter, as I'm able to see the 2.1 / 2.2 section, but when I drag it to that section and try to redo it by dragging a window around in that section, the section interface doesn't show up anymore.

I have two monitors, a 21:9 3440x1440 on top and a 16:9 1920x1080 144Hz on bottom. I mainly want to use DisplayFusion as my windows manager since Dell's manager removed features of windows snap, and only functions on one monitor. However, DisplayFusion's not doing much for me right now if this feature is working as intended. ]]>
