I have to say, I really thought this was going to be something specific to my machine, but yeah, I think Beta 8 fixed it. Well done!

I've attached the logs, in case you wanted to see. I used the keyboard shortcut to go to the next split/monitor three times, then dragged the window to a different split, and it worked.

Way to go! ]]> RE: Windows no longer maximize to split when dragged (Windows 11) https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-no-longer-maximize-to-split-when-dragged-windows-11/?ID=a5cea8c8-3784-4f06-a944-8e279f8cafe8#28 Tue, 22 Aug 2023 17:51:09 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-no-longer-maximize-to-split-when-dragged-windows-11/?ID=a5cea8c8-3784-4f06-a944-8e279f8cafe8#28 DisplayFusion We've released a new beta, could you try it out and let me know if there's any change? ]]> RE: Windows no longer maximize to split when dragged (Windows 11) https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-no-longer-maximize-to-split-when-dragged-windows-11/?ID=a5cea8c8-3784-4f06-a944-8e279f8cafe8#27 Tue, 08 Aug 2023 16:58:49 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-no-longer-maximize-to-split-when-dragged-windows-11/?ID=a5cea8c8-3784-4f06-a944-8e279f8cafe8#27 DisplayFusion Thanks for sending that over, we have some more changes coming in our next beta that will hopefully fix this up

We'll open this back up for us to take another look at.

Thanks! ]]> RE: Windows no longer maximize to split when dragged (Windows 11) https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-no-longer-maximize-to-split-when-dragged-windows-11/?ID=a5cea8c8-3784-4f06-a944-8e279f8cafe8#20 Wed, 31 May 2023 14:14:58 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-no-longer-maximize-to-split-when-dragged-windows-11/?ID=a5cea8c8-3784-4f06-a944-8e279f8cafe8#20 DisplayFusion Yup.

I maximized a File Explorer window into a split.
Dragged it to a new split - noted that it did not re-maximize to that split. (This is the problem.)
Double-clicked on the title bar to maximize it to the destination split area.

So the problem is between the two maximize commands. ]]> RE: Windows no longer maximize to split when dragged (Windows 11) https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-no-longer-maximize-to-split-when-dragged-windows-11/?ID=a5cea8c8-3784-4f06-a944-8e279f8cafe8#16 Tue, 09 May 2023 14:54:40 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-no-longer-maximize-to-split-when-dragged-windows-11/?ID=a5cea8c8-3784-4f06-a944-8e279f8cafe8#16 DisplayFusion Could you send me over another debug log from that beta?

Downloaded and ran, but it hangs. I click past the license and options, and when I click "Install", it says "Setup is preparing to install DisplayFusion on your computer" but never does anything, and that window cannot be moved, closed, or cancelled.

I'm upgrading from Beta 2 to Beta 3, and tried rebooting my machine first. No luck.

I tried Uninstalling and doing a fresh reinstall - but the uninstall hung as well. ]]> RE: Windows no longer maximize to split when dragged (Windows 11) https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-no-longer-maximize-to-split-when-dragged-windows-11/?ID=a5cea8c8-3784-4f06-a944-8e279f8cafe8#13 Wed, 03 May 2023 18:05:14 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-no-longer-maximize-to-split-when-dragged-windows-11/?ID=a5cea8c8-3784-4f06-a944-8e279f8cafe8#13 DisplayFusion We've released a new beta with some changes that might help here, can you try it out and let me know if the issue persists? ]]> RE: Windows no longer maximize to split when dragged (Windows 11) https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-no-longer-maximize-to-split-when-dragged-windows-11/?ID=a5cea8c8-3784-4f06-a944-8e279f8cafe8#12 Fri, 28 Apr 2023 14:55:07 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-no-longer-maximize-to-split-when-dragged-windows-11/?ID=a5cea8c8-3784-4f06-a944-8e279f8cafe8#12 DisplayFusion Yeah it counts for monitor splits too, so DisplayFusion thinks it's moving to the same monitor split it started in, rather then a different one. Thanks for sending that video over, we have some changes coming in our next beta that might fix this up, so we'll let you know once it's released to try out.

Thanks! ]]> RE: Windows no longer maximize to split when dragged (Windows 11) https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-no-longer-maximize-to-split-when-dragged-windows-11/?ID=a5cea8c8-3784-4f06-a944-8e279f8cafe8#11 Thu, 27 Apr 2023 18:32:58 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-no-longer-maximize-to-split-when-dragged-windows-11/?ID=a5cea8c8-3784-4f06-a944-8e279f8cafe8#11 DisplayFusion I'm confused - maybe there's a terminology mismatch.

I have one physical monitor. Always have.

I use DF to allocate that monitor into work zones via Splits.

In previous versions, before a recent update, when I dragged a window that was maximized-to-split, and hovered over a different Split, it would highlight the split with a semi-transparent black overlay, showing me where the window would end up if I dropped it onto the Split.

So if I understand your use of the word Monitor to mean physical display screen, then yes, it is being dragged to the same Monitor, as I mentioned in my previous reply and the title of this thread.

What I'm missing is the old functionality for dragging maximized-to-split windows to other splits, on the same monitor.

I don't know that it will help, but there's a video attached. ]]> RE: Windows no longer maximize to split when dragged (Windows 11) https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-no-longer-maximize-to-split-when-dragged-windows-11/?ID=a5cea8c8-3784-4f06-a944-8e279f8cafe8#10 Thu, 27 Apr 2023 17:40:07 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-no-longer-maximize-to-split-when-dragged-windows-11/?ID=a5cea8c8-3784-4f06-a944-8e279f8cafe8#10 DisplayFusion Thanks for sending that over, it looks like DisplayFsuion is ignoring the maximize because it thinks the window is being dragged to the same monitor it started on (the maximizing should only work when it's being dragged to a different monitor). Could you send me over a video of the issue? ]]> RE: Windows no longer maximize to split when dragged (Windows 11) https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-no-longer-maximize-to-split-when-dragged-windows-11/?ID=a5cea8c8-3784-4f06-a944-8e279f8cafe8#9 Thu, 27 Apr 2023 14:10:05 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-no-longer-maximize-to-split-when-dragged-windows-11/?ID=a5cea8c8-3784-4f06-a944-8e279f8cafe8#9 DisplayFusion Thanks Owen - log attached.

In this log, I:
* turned on L1
* Double-clicked the title bar to maximize Firefox to a split
* Tried dragging to another split on the same monitor (this is a one-monitor, multi-split setup) at 7:06:45 or so
* The window did NOT resize and maximize to match the split to which it was being dragged, and did not highlight the split as I dragged. Not sure if you'll see anything in the log.
* Double-clicked the title bar again so there would be another event

So you're looking in between the two maximize-to-split events, I think. ]]> RE: Windows no longer maximize to split when dragged (Windows 11) https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-no-longer-maximize-to-split-when-dragged-windows-11/?ID=a5cea8c8-3784-4f06-a944-8e279f8cafe8#8 Tue, 25 Apr 2023 14:52:03 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-no-longer-maximize-to-split-when-dragged-windows-11/?ID=a5cea8c8-3784-4f06-a944-8e279f8cafe8#8 DisplayFusion Could you send me over a debug log?
