Updating to 10 fixed this. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/hovering-over-app-in-df-taskbar-should-bring-focus-into-it-if-something-is-dragged-from-other-application/?ID=d601cea1-dece-4569-bcbd-6cb590382b3b#3 Tue, 30 Aug 2022 06:20:46 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/hovering-over-app-in-df-taskbar-should-bring-focus-into-it-if-something-is-dragged-from-other-application/?ID=d601cea1-dece-4569-bcbd-6cb590382b3b#3 DisplayFusion Here is a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YW9dIuqKNjI
As you can see focus to another window do not work.
The same is if i try to drag file from explorer into browser. I hover dragged files over open rowser icon in taskbar and no focus to browser activated.

I'm using windows 11 with explorer patcher for main taskbar (if this makes any difference. Focus on main windowstaskbar is ok). ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/hovering-over-app-in-df-taskbar-should-bring-focus-into-it-if-something-is-dragged-from-other-application/?ID=d601cea1-dece-4569-bcbd-6cb590382b3b#2 Mon, 29 Aug 2022 17:12:50 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/hovering-over-app-in-df-taskbar-should-bring-focus-into-it-if-something-is-dragged-from-other-application/?ID=d601cea1-dece-4569-bcbd-6cb590382b3b#2 DisplayFusion Hello,

I tested this out on my end and it seemed to work fine. Could you send me over a video of the issue?

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/hovering-over-app-in-df-taskbar-should-bring-focus-into-it-if-something-is-dragged-from-other-application/?ID=d601cea1-dece-4569-bcbd-6cb590382b3b Fri, 26 Aug 2022 17:30:44 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/hovering-over-app-in-df-taskbar-should-bring-focus-into-it-if-something-is-dragged-from-other-application/?ID=d601cea1-dece-4569-bcbd-6cb590382b3b DisplayFusion Hello,

DisplayFussion taskbar is missing functionality where i can drag something from one app into another. It doesn't activate another application window if i hover over it while dragging something from another app. For example.
1. Start one application "Firefox" window.
2. Start another "Firefox" window.
3. Open two tabs on second.
4. Grab one tab and try to focus first Firefox window by hovering mouse over it in DF taskbar.
5. Nothing happens. While standard Windows taskbar would activate focus into app mouse is hovering over.

Would it be possible to add this in future releases? Thanks.
