Border Padding has caused all kinds of little window positioning glitches ever since it was added in Vista, and unless you're really inaccurate with a mouse it adds nothing useful whatsoever. At least in Vista and 7, the official UI had a way to get rid of it.

The setting was removed in 8, but the glitches were generally not noticible as the padded border was still visible. Now it's invisible in 10 and things look awful.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics\PaddedBorderWidth = 0 if you don't want to install a 3rd party app. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-windows-snapping-a-few-pixels-off/?ID=8dae7bc8-1e10-44dc-9e39-fb3887f18aae#53 Fri, 20 May 2016 17:32:37 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-windows-snapping-a-few-pixels-off/?ID=8dae7bc8-1e10-44dc-9e39-fb3887f18aae#53 DisplayFusion Well, I'm stumped!

Version 1511 ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-windows-snapping-a-few-pixels-off/?ID=8dae7bc8-1e10-44dc-9e39-fb3887f18aae#51 Mon, 16 May 2016 20:20:24 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-windows-snapping-a-few-pixels-off/?ID=8dae7bc8-1e10-44dc-9e39-fb3887f18aae#51 DisplayFusion Good question! I think the issue is that Windows is treating the invisible window border as part of the window, so when it re-opens, it bumps it over to keep it inside the work area.

As to why it's not happening with my system, the only difference I can think of is Windows 10 version. The last time you posted your troubleshooting info, you were on Windows 10 build 10240. I'm currently on the November (1511) update, which is build 10586. Are you still on 10240? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-windows-snapping-a-few-pixels-off/?ID=8dae7bc8-1e10-44dc-9e39-fb3887f18aae#50 Fri, 13 May 2016 23:48:24 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-windows-snapping-a-few-pixels-off/?ID=8dae7bc8-1e10-44dc-9e39-fb3887f18aae#50 DisplayFusion If I close it it doesn't snap, but it doesn't stay the corner either.

I found this link talking about it on Microsoft's website:

This is exactly my problem that I keep having.

@Keith are you saying that you "don't" get this problem? I'm just curious why I guess? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-windows-snapping-a-few-pixels-off/?ID=8dae7bc8-1e10-44dc-9e39-fb3887f18aae#49 Thu, 12 May 2016 19:29:09 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-windows-snapping-a-few-pixels-off/?ID=8dae7bc8-1e10-44dc-9e39-fb3887f18aae#49 DisplayFusion Yeah, that's strange! I think this may be a Windows thing though. If you exit DisplayFusion, then do the same thing, what happens? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-windows-snapping-a-few-pixels-off/?ID=8dae7bc8-1e10-44dc-9e39-fb3887f18aae#48 Sat, 07 May 2016 03:00:52 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-windows-snapping-a-few-pixels-off/?ID=8dae7bc8-1e10-44dc-9e39-fb3887f18aae#48 DisplayFusion Yes. If I resize the window to something smaller then move the window around it will snap to the sides, bottom, and top just fine. But if I resize it to fill the window then close it it produces gaps on the sides and bottom.

Kinda vexing really ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-windows-snapping-a-few-pixels-off/?ID=8dae7bc8-1e10-44dc-9e39-fb3887f18aae#47 Fri, 06 May 2016 18:19:41 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-windows-snapping-a-few-pixels-off/?ID=8dae7bc8-1e10-44dc-9e39-fb3887f18aae#47 DisplayFusion When you uninstall, if you answer yes to the "complete uninstall" question, it will remove all settings

Quick question, when the window isn't sized to half of the screen, if you drag it near the bottom edge of the screen, does DisplayFusion grab it and snap it tight? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-windows-snapping-a-few-pixels-off/?ID=8dae7bc8-1e10-44dc-9e39-fb3887f18aae#46 Fri, 06 May 2016 14:10:43 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-windows-snapping-a-few-pixels-off/?ID=8dae7bc8-1e10-44dc-9e39-fb3887f18aae#46 DisplayFusion New question Keith,

Is there a way to completely remove all settings? I tried to remove it and reinstall the beta, but as I give it some thought I'm thinking that there may be some items not quite being removed.

Just a thought. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-windows-snapping-a-few-pixels-off/?ID=8dae7bc8-1e10-44dc-9e39-fb3887f18aae#45 Thu, 05 May 2016 11:27:21 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-windows-snapping-a-few-pixels-off/?ID=8dae7bc8-1e10-44dc-9e39-fb3887f18aae#45 DisplayFusion Actually the email program is the only one that seems to work properly, everything else seems to scoot away from the edges and the taskbar.

I even tried to do the auto hide for the taskbar then unhide it, but it still moves away after it's reopened. The screenshot above shows the only window that works (email client) and every other window that I open acts just like the Firefox window. Only the top locks, the sides and the bottom all have that spacing. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-windows-snapping-a-few-pixels-off/?ID=8dae7bc8-1e10-44dc-9e39-fb3887f18aae#44 Wed, 04 May 2016 20:07:00 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-windows-snapping-a-few-pixels-off/?ID=8dae7bc8-1e10-44dc-9e39-fb3887f18aae#44 DisplayFusion Could you list a couple of the other applications that that occurs with as well? I can't seem to reproduce it with any applications that I run here. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-windows-snapping-a-few-pixels-off/?ID=8dae7bc8-1e10-44dc-9e39-fb3887f18aae#43 Mon, 02 May 2016 19:20:24 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-windows-snapping-a-few-pixels-off/?ID=8dae7bc8-1e10-44dc-9e39-fb3887f18aae#43 DisplayFusion No, I was asking what you just described. Basically if snapping distance was how far away it needed to be to an edge of a window before DisplayFusion grabbed it.

I started to wonder if I misunderstood based on your request before, to increase my distance from 3 to 10 or 15. I was then that I realized I probably misunderstood how it worked.

So you just clarified that for me.

But to my other question of why if DF grabs the window now further out, it doesn't "stay" grabbed if I space the window properly to fit three corners of my screen.

By that, if you look at the picture I put in the question, DF will set the top of the window for Firefox, but if you look at the right side of the screen and the bottom near the taskbar, there is a "small gap" the always remains. I can resize a window and fill it and everything is fine, "until" I close the window. Once I close it, then it reopens with that small gap again.

For every window except the email client in the picture, does this no matter what side of the screen it's on.

Initially when I installed the beta it went a way, but after a couple days it came back. The only change I made last night to try to get rid of the gap was to turn off Windows 10 snapping. I thought it might be interfering with DF in someway. But that didn't seem to be the case. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-windows-snapping-a-few-pixels-off/?ID=8dae7bc8-1e10-44dc-9e39-fb3887f18aae#42 Mon, 02 May 2016 19:05:27 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-windows-snapping-a-few-pixels-off/?ID=8dae7bc8-1e10-44dc-9e39-fb3887f18aae#42 DisplayFusion I think we're maybe getting our terminology mixed up. The snap distance is how close the window has to be to the screen edge, before DisplayFusion will make it "jump" into alignment with the screen edge, at which point, it should rest at 0px from the edge.

Are you referring to dragging the window right to the very edge of the screen, so that it automatically re-sizes to fit half the screen? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-windows-snapping-a-few-pixels-off/?ID=8dae7bc8-1e10-44dc-9e39-fb3887f18aae#41 Mon, 02 May 2016 05:02:58 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-10-windows-snapping-a-few-pixels-off/?ID=8dae7bc8-1e10-44dc-9e39-fb3887f18aae#41 DisplayFusion Hey Keith,

I tried what you said. I guess two things:

1.) I guess I don't understand what they snapping distance is? Is it the distance away that it grabs the window to snap it? I was thinking for some reason that it was how far away that it would float the window. Just trying to confirm that point I guess.

2.) I included a picture. Somehow only my Email client snaps to the corners properly. When I try to snap anything to the right side of my screen (as you see in my screenshot using Firefox), the top snaps OK and everything remains where it should, but the right side and bottom float away from the side and bottom of the task bar.

If all windows did it I could understand, but the email client doesn't but any "new" windows I open all do that. Do you have any idea of how I fix that?

Thanks.
