I understand. In your investigation, if you found something wrong with XWin rather than with DisplayFusion, can you give me some details? I'll then see what can be done with XWin devs. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/flickering-with-multiple-xwin-windows/?ID=f2662a3b-a5f0-4fca-85f6-7e30db8b4d60#15 Tue, 07 Nov 2017 16:22:19 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/flickering-with-multiple-xwin-windows/?ID=f2662a3b-a5f0-4fca-85f6-7e30db8b4d60#15 DisplayFusion Ah, yep! I can reproduce it now. I'm not sure if this is something we'd be able to fix up from our end, but I will put it on the list and if we're able to get it sorted out, we'll be sure to let you know.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/flickering-with-multiple-xwin-windows/?ID=f2662a3b-a5f0-4fca-85f6-7e30db8b4d60#14 Tue, 07 Nov 2017 07:00:08 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/flickering-with-multiple-xwin-windows/?ID=f2662a3b-a5f0-4fca-85f6-7e30db8b4d60#14 DisplayFusion I had this issue with maximized windows only. Did you try with maximized windows? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/flickering-with-multiple-xwin-windows/?ID=f2662a3b-a5f0-4fca-85f6-7e30db8b4d60#13 Mon, 06 Nov 2017 18:47:26 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/flickering-with-multiple-xwin-windows/?ID=f2662a3b-a5f0-4fca-85f6-7e30db8b4d60#13 DisplayFusion I'm still having trouble reproducing this issue here. This is what I'm trying:

• Open a few XWin windows
• Run the Save Window Positions function
• Move them around
• Run the Restore Window Positions function

Did I miss any steps? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/flickering-with-multiple-xwin-windows/?ID=f2662a3b-a5f0-4fca-85f6-7e30db8b4d60#12 Fri, 27 Oct 2017 14:17:58 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/flickering-with-multiple-xwin-windows/?ID=f2662a3b-a5f0-4fca-85f6-7e30db8b4d60#12 DisplayFusion Sounds good, thank you for your purchase! I apologize for the delay on this, we've been completely swamped with the leadup to the release, and now with post-release support, but I assure you this is still on my list! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/flickering-with-multiple-xwin-windows/?ID=f2662a3b-a5f0-4fca-85f6-7e30db8b4d60#11 Fri, 27 Oct 2017 07:37:35 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/flickering-with-multiple-xwin-windows/?ID=f2662a3b-a5f0-4fca-85f6-7e30db8b4d60#11 DisplayFusion Hey, I just installed version 9.0. My issue is still here. My evaluation license expiring soon, I bought a definitive one, even though my main use of this product is not functional for now.
I hope you can find what the problem is and fix it. I can help debugging, if needed.

Any news? Do you need more information on my part, more testing? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/flickering-with-multiple-xwin-windows/?ID=f2662a3b-a5f0-4fca-85f6-7e30db8b4d60#8 Fri, 06 Oct 2017 17:24:32 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/flickering-with-multiple-xwin-windows/?ID=f2662a3b-a5f0-4fca-85f6-7e30db8b4d60#8 DisplayFusion Ah interesting. I tested in Windows 7. I'll have a go in 8.1 and see if that makes any difference. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/flickering-with-multiple-xwin-windows/?ID=f2662a3b-a5f0-4fca-85f6-7e30db8b4d60#7 Fri, 06 Oct 2017 08:03:27 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/flickering-with-multiple-xwin-windows/?ID=f2662a3b-a5f0-4fca-85f6-7e30db8b4d60#7 DisplayFusion I can do more testing if that helps. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/flickering-with-multiple-xwin-windows/?ID=f2662a3b-a5f0-4fca-85f6-7e30db8b4d60#6 Fri, 06 Oct 2017 06:44:26 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/flickering-with-multiple-xwin-windows/?ID=f2662a3b-a5f0-4fca-85f6-7e30db8b4d60#6 DisplayFusion First, I'm running Windows 8.1 in a professional environment.
Second, I did a video of the flickering. It doesn't happen all the time, just most of the times. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/flickering-with-multiple-xwin-windows/?ID=f2662a3b-a5f0-4fca-85f6-7e30db8b4d60#5 Thu, 05 Oct 2017 15:17:16 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/flickering-with-multiple-xwin-windows/?ID=f2662a3b-a5f0-4fca-85f6-7e30db8b4d60#5 DisplayFusion I wasn't able to reproduce this behaviour here.

I'll do some testing here to see what we can find out. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/flickering-with-multiple-xwin-windows/?ID=f2662a3b-a5f0-4fca-85f6-7e30db8b4d60 Thu, 28 Sep 2017 12:34:57 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/flickering-with-multiple-xwin-windows/?ID=f2662a3b-a5f0-4fca-85f6-7e30db8b4d60 DisplayFusion Hi,
I'm trying to use DisplayFusion, which seems great btw, to save and restore window positions at sleep/wake up time. If I succeed to, I'd most likely buy a license cause this Windows© dysfunction pisses me off.

However, I've got troubles with some windows. I'm using cygwin and XWin for a more Unix way of working. Whenever I've got an XWin window maximized, and I trigger the restore positions from latest save, it is flickering (most of the time) forever. The only solution I found was to close the window.
I'll attach some log files:

DisplayFusion-detailed-XWin-compatibility.log -> detailed log with all "window only" compatibility options
DisplayFusion-full-XWin-compatibility.log -> full log with all "window only" compatibility options

DisplayFusion-detailed-XWin.log -> detailed log without compatibility options
DisplayFusion-full-XWin.log -> full log without compatibility options

On each try, I opened two XWin windows, both maximized, saved the current positions, then restored them. The flickering began, I closed the flickering windows, then deactivate the log.

Can you see what is happening?
Regards. ]]>
