The only thing I can suggest is trying to disable certain DF features (taskbars, titlebar buttons, etc) one at a time to see if disabling a specific feature resolves the issue. ]]> RE: 7.3 beta 3 - monitor splitting doesn't work, and taskbar issue https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/73-beta-3-monitor-splitting-doesnt-work-and-taskbar-issue/?ID=7c489575-5527-43a1-bb9b-a7c8ccff93ec#29 Fri, 09 Oct 2015 01:14:55 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/73-beta-3-monitor-splitting-doesnt-work-and-taskbar-issue/?ID=7c489575-5527-43a1-bb9b-a7c8ccff93ec#29 DisplayFusion hmm, it's not happening on my machine, only if Im using 7.3. And I've been running similar codes for quite sometime now.

Any other idea? ]]> RE: 7.3 beta 3 - monitor splitting doesn't work, and taskbar issue https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/73-beta-3-monitor-splitting-doesnt-work-and-taskbar-issue/?ID=7c489575-5527-43a1-bb9b-a7c8ccff93ec#28 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 19:54:22 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/73-beta-3-monitor-splitting-doesnt-work-and-taskbar-issue/?ID=7c489575-5527-43a1-bb9b-a7c8ccff93ec#28 DisplayFusion Thanks! I can indeed reproduce that, but it happens regardless of whether or not DisplayFusion is running. Just running those two scripts on my machine causes applications to stutter when being dragged around. ]]> RE: 7.3 beta 3 - monitor splitting doesn't work, and taskbar issue https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/73-beta-3-monitor-splitting-doesnt-work-and-taskbar-issue/?ID=7c489575-5527-43a1-bb9b-a7c8ccff93ec#27 Thu, 08 Oct 2015 18:14:14 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/73-beta-3-monitor-splitting-doesnt-work-and-taskbar-issue/?ID=7c489575-5527-43a1-bb9b-a7c8ccff93ec#27 DisplayFusion it should create perfomance issue right in windows, like if you drag around window it should stutter and lags, at least thats how it is on my computer. So anything gets affected not just games.

Couple of questions for you:
  • What CPU and video card is in your system?
  • Could you list a few of the games this occurs in? Perhaps we're not testing with the right games here.

search_empty.ahk is just a pixel search that wont do anything
search_splash_image.ahk is a pixel search that when the pixel isn't found it will try to load a png image with white as transparant.

run both of them at the same time to create the stutter

I made the script to run faster to exaggerate the stutter.

Also it's not necessarily need to be these 2 scripts, If I run the first script around 8 times simultaneously it will also cause stutter.

Thank you. ]]> RE: 7.3 beta 3 - monitor splitting doesn't work, and taskbar issue https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/73-beta-3-monitor-splitting-doesnt-work-and-taskbar-issue/?ID=7c489575-5527-43a1-bb9b-a7c8ccff93ec#23 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 20:04:16 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/73-beta-3-monitor-splitting-doesnt-work-and-taskbar-issue/?ID=7c489575-5527-43a1-bb9b-a7c8ccff93ec#23 DisplayFusion Sounds great, thanks! ]]> RE: 7.3 beta 3 - monitor splitting doesn't work, and taskbar issue https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/73-beta-3-monitor-splitting-doesnt-work-and-taskbar-issue/?ID=7c489575-5527-43a1-bb9b-a7c8ccff93ec#22 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 01:24:10 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/73-beta-3-monitor-splitting-doesnt-work-and-taskbar-issue/?ID=7c489575-5527-43a1-bb9b-a7c8ccff93ec#22 DisplayFusion hi, thx for the update

I'll make a simple autohotkey script this weekend and hopefully will create the stuttering problem. I think it has something to do with image search.

Could you give it a try and let me know if you're still running into these issues?

However now I can somewhat explain the weird maximizing behaviour. The window/apps will maximize into the split that they are currently active on. So if I have window active on split 1 and try to drag into different split, it will snap back into split 1. I hope that make sense.

And as I mentioned about stuttering before, It appears that it has perfomance (bug?) issue with autohotkey. It might have something to do when autohotkey try to search image or pixel in the screen. This doesn't happen in 7.2 and 7.3 beta 2

If you just click the Maximize button instead of dragging to the top edge, do the windows stay within the splits?

Also, could you try this build: https://www.binaryfortress.com/Files/DisplayFusion/DisplayFusionSetup-7.3.exe and send me a debug log?

edit: it actually somewhat working but acting really weird. On windows if i drag the window to the edge to maximize, it will always jump into the first split), on firefox if I drag to the edge to maximize it will maximize to the whole screen. And if I double click them, they will maximize into the proper split.

It's acting kinda differently every programs, it's kinda hard to describe but it jumps around

Also, it made my game to stutter quite heavily , haven't try different game but the stutter gone when I quit display fusion (7.3 beta 3 and 4 only)
