Would you be able to send us a debug log? Here are the steps:
  • On the Troubleshooting tab, change the Logging drop-down to "Logging: Important Only"
  • Restart DisplayFusion
  • The next time it occurs, note the time so we'll know where to check in the log file
  • Send us the DisplayFusion.log and DebugInfo.html files (can be found by clicking the Open Log button on the Troubleshooting tab)
  • Disable debug logging after sending the log

The workaround stated was to add a compatibility rule and force the application to be treated as full screen. This does work, but it causes the other Displayfusion taskbars to flicker.

Is there any way to alleviate the flickering? It's rather distracting... For the time being, I've taken to simply disabling the taskbar on my middle screen, but that's just not ideal. ]]>
