Please let us know if you run into any trouble after updating.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/restore-window-positions-not-working-on-split-monitor/?ID=e18181bb-4dc3-4157-a5e2-ded31dc357a6#9 Wed, 09 May 2018 15:49:26 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/restore-window-positions-not-working-on-split-monitor/?ID=e18181bb-4dc3-4157-a5e2-ded31dc357a6#9 DisplayFusion It's still on our list, we just haven't had any luck fixing it up yet.

I noticed it's been over a half a year since the OP noted this issue - is this no longer on the list of things to fix?

I think I'm having the same problem...

When restoring windows that are maximized, they will first be placed correctly and then they will maximize to cover the entire screen. If I maximize a window by clicking the maximize button, then they will maximize correctly and only fill the appropriate split. If the windows aren't maximized, they will restore correctly. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/restore-window-positions-not-working-on-split-monitor/?ID=e18181bb-4dc3-4157-a5e2-ded31dc357a6#5 Mon, 11 Sep 2017 22:18:42 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/restore-window-positions-not-working-on-split-monitor/?ID=e18181bb-4dc3-4157-a5e2-ded31dc357a6#5 DisplayFusion Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/restore-window-positions-not-working-on-split-monitor/?ID=e18181bb-4dc3-4157-a5e2-ded31dc357a6#4 Mon, 11 Sep 2017 13:31:14 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/restore-window-positions-not-working-on-split-monitor/?ID=e18181bb-4dc3-4157-a5e2-ded31dc357a6#4 DisplayFusion Thanks!

Here you go. I also attached the detailed log, and cleared it right before I saved/restored the window positions. In the example I set up, I placed a MS Excel window in the problematic split area and "fake maximized" it to occupy the entire split region. I saved positions, moved a few windows around,and restored. The Excel window maximized to take up the whole monitor.

The restore starts at line 521 of the log. On line 539 and a few other places, there are operations called "RestoreWindow [MaximizeWindowIgnoreSplits]" that target the Excel application, and this is exactly the behavior I'm seeing. But beyond noticing those lines of text, I don't know how to prevent it from happening! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/restore-window-positions-not-working-on-split-monitor/?ID=e18181bb-4dc3-4157-a5e2-ded31dc357a6#2 Sat, 09 Sep 2017 01:55:41 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/restore-window-positions-not-working-on-split-monitor/?ID=e18181bb-4dc3-4157-a5e2-ded31dc357a6#2 DisplayFusion Could you attach a copy of your troubleshooting info? I'll test with your exact monitor setup on Monday and see what I can find out

I am trying to use the "Restore Window Positions" function to get around the well-known issue of windows being rearranged after waking from sleep. I have "save window positions" and "restore window positions" set to hotkeys; I am not even messing with triggers for now. Everything works perfectly when I press the "restore" hotkey, except whichever window was maximized to the lower split of monitor 3 will restore to that position for a fraction of a second, and then suddenly maximize to fill the entire monitor 3. This happens regardless of which application occupies that region, and does not occur for any application in any other split region. Any ideas? ]]>
