Can you try it out and let us know if you run into any issues?

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-taskbar-misplaced-to-middle-of-screen-after-monitor-config-change/?ID=c999bc62-47ad-4ddc-91c1-e08d3dc75a65#16 Thu, 25 Aug 2022 19:03:34 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-taskbar-misplaced-to-middle-of-screen-after-monitor-config-change/?ID=c999bc62-47ad-4ddc-91c1-e08d3dc75a65#16 DisplayFusion Ok, thanks for confirming. That's indeed a really weird bug. I'm going to pass this over to our developers to have a look at. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-taskbar-misplaced-to-middle-of-screen-after-monitor-config-change/?ID=c999bc62-47ad-4ddc-91c1-e08d3dc75a65#15 Wed, 24 Aug 2022 19:40:26 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-taskbar-misplaced-to-middle-of-screen-after-monitor-config-change/?ID=c999bc62-47ad-4ddc-91c1-e08d3dc75a65#15 DisplayFusion ok so it's looking like that toggle has something to do with it, any idea what I can do to fix it and still have the option toggled (i.e. no confirmation windows)? That's like half the appeal of DF for me
I think I had several triggers/manual config activations while running this log with that specific toggle off and it didn't do the displaced extended taskbar thing. So it fixes the issue, but not in a satisfactory way for me ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-taskbar-misplaced-to-middle-of-screen-after-monitor-config-change/?ID=c999bc62-47ad-4ddc-91c1-e08d3dc75a65#14 Tue, 23 Aug 2022 20:11:17 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-taskbar-misplaced-to-middle-of-screen-after-monitor-config-change/?ID=c999bc62-47ad-4ddc-91c1-e08d3dc75a65#14 DisplayFusion Interesting! Would you be able to disable that setting temporarily, and let me know if the taskbar still gets stuck in the middle of the screen? It's weird that there was a log line about the dialog if it's disabled, so I'm wondering if it's related.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-taskbar-misplaced-to-middle-of-screen-after-monitor-config-change/?ID=c999bc62-47ad-4ddc-91c1-e08d3dc75a65#13 Tue, 23 Aug 2022 01:27:02 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-taskbar-misplaced-to-middle-of-screen-after-monitor-config-change/?ID=c999bc62-47ad-4ddc-91c1-e08d3dc75a65#13 DisplayFusion are you referring to the dialog that DF is "supposed to" bring up? Because I have "Don't show confirmation prompts" toggled on in DF's advanced settings so I don't see anything pop up whenever my monitor config changes ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-taskbar-misplaced-to-middle-of-screen-after-monitor-config-change/?ID=c999bc62-47ad-4ddc-91c1-e08d3dc75a65#12 Mon, 22 Aug 2022 13:23:37 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-taskbar-misplaced-to-middle-of-screen-after-monitor-config-change/?ID=c999bc62-47ad-4ddc-91c1-e08d3dc75a65#12 DisplayFusion Thanks! I can see where DF knows it needs to reload the taskbar, but it skips it because the "Keep Changes" dialog from the monitor config change is still open. Not sure why it's not trying again after that.

Can you confirm that after you click yes on the "Keep Changes" dialog, that it still doesn't reload the taskbar in the correct position, even after waiting a minute? I will pass this over to our devs but want to make sure that I have the correct symptoms.

It coincidentally happened when I was opening the same program/same config triggers were activated as the previous log but that's also been the only event trigger I've tried to activate the past couple days ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-taskbar-misplaced-to-middle-of-screen-after-monitor-config-change/?ID=c999bc62-47ad-4ddc-91c1-e08d3dc75a65#10 Fri, 19 Aug 2022 17:33:02 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-taskbar-misplaced-to-middle-of-screen-after-monitor-config-change/?ID=c999bc62-47ad-4ddc-91c1-e08d3dc75a65#10 DisplayFusion Okay strange, there were log lines showing DisplayFusion couldn't adjust the taskbar location after the resolution change because it was detecting a full screen window. Could you leave that setting enabled, and then send me over another log?

In the DisplayFusion Settings > Taskbar tab, can you enable "Allow taskbar reloading while fullscreen applications are running", and see if the issue persists after restarting DisplayFusion?

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-taskbar-misplaced-to-middle-of-screen-after-monitor-config-change/?ID=c999bc62-47ad-4ddc-91c1-e08d3dc75a65#7 Thu, 18 Aug 2022 10:03:32 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-taskbar-misplaced-to-middle-of-screen-after-monitor-config-change/?ID=c999bc62-47ad-4ddc-91c1-e08d3dc75a65#7 DisplayFusion ok here we go, at 5:51 it did the thing where the taskbar stayed in the middle of the screen. This was after I triggered a switch from my normal config (noTV) to CEMU4k by running a program (i.e. not manually via shortcut keys). I know it's not the program itself because it does it for others but I think it has something to do with the triggers.

For instance, another program I have set to trigger my TV config where it's only my TV active (no DSR or multiple monitors) and because (I assume) I triggered a switch from a config with multiple monitors to the TV one, the mid-screen extra taskbar issue presents itself ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-taskbar-misplaced-to-middle-of-screen-after-monitor-config-change/?ID=c999bc62-47ad-4ddc-91c1-e08d3dc75a65#6 Wed, 17 Aug 2022 17:20:12 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-taskbar-misplaced-to-middle-of-screen-after-monitor-config-change/?ID=c999bc62-47ad-4ddc-91c1-e08d3dc75a65#6 DisplayFusion I've been trying to reproduce it but of course I can't get it what I want it to do exactly but it did the effect very briefly before correcting itself at 1:06. That wouldn't be as big of a deal but most of the time the "Mini Side-taskbar" just stays in the middle of the screen until I manually reset its position.

Maybe it only does it and "sticks" if the config is activated via trigger? For trying to reproduce it I've just been hitting my shortcut keys to activate the different configs (many of which involve changing my monitor to 4K via DSR, I think the one "blip" happened when I used my "CEMU4k" config for 4K DSR monitor + 1080p second monitor, maybe coincidentally) but I haven't used my triggers much, I'll continue logging it for now and see if I can reproduce it exactly but I was hoping maybe this brief appearance could help solve the issue ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-taskbar-misplaced-to-middle-of-screen-after-monitor-config-change/?ID=c999bc62-47ad-4ddc-91c1-e08d3dc75a65#5 Tue, 16 Aug 2022 16:04:29 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-taskbar-misplaced-to-middle-of-screen-after-monitor-config-change/?ID=c999bc62-47ad-4ddc-91c1-e08d3dc75a65#5 DisplayFusion Thanks for sending that over. Could you send over a debug log as well? Here are the steps:

• On the DisplayFusion Settings > Troubleshooting tab, change the Logging drop-down to "L1: Log Minimal" and click Apply
• Reproduce the issue and note the time so we'll know where to check in the log file
• Click the "Export Info to File" button on the Settings > Troubleshooting tab
• Reply with the file attached
• Disable debug logging after sending the log

Also out of curiosity, if you disable DSR, does the issue persist?

I should mention the main monitor is being DSR'd up to 4k, seeing as it's actually a 1440p monitor. The secondary taskbar still gets incorrectly placed on the native screen resolutions, however.
I've used these same configs for quite some time, and it used to be that the weird bar placement would happen a lot less often (but it would still happen). So somehow that frequency got increased over the last few months I'd say. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-taskbar-misplaced-to-middle-of-screen-after-monitor-config-change/?ID=c999bc62-47ad-4ddc-91c1-e08d3dc75a65#3 Mon, 15 Aug 2022 14:47:31 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/multi-monitor-taskbar-misplaced-to-middle-of-screen-after-monitor-config-change/?ID=c999bc62-47ad-4ddc-91c1-e08d3dc75a65#3 DisplayFusion Hello,

Could you send me over a screenshot of your Windows Display Settings window?

Half the time it seems whenever I change my multi-monitor config, the DF custom extended taskbar (i.e. not the "Main Monitor" one) ends up like in the middle of my main screen instead of the bottom of my second screen. I can fix it when it happens (Taskbar position bottom/automatic in the DF context menu) but obviously I want to solve the cause of it and not treat the symptoms since I have to do it so often.
Notice how the browser window treats the "fake" mid-screen taskbar as if it were at the bottom of the screen like the real taskbar. The browser window was maximized correctly on my main monitor before I switched Configs to this and it effectively halved the window. ]]>
