It's a shame but it seems attempting to avoid using Steam Big Picture and sticking to just DF has created more problems than it fixed.
Even with the Window Location rules it still doesn't bring everything into functioning how I need it to. (Ex, taskbar tooltip popups only show up in the primary display and can't be moved)

I will likely be reverting my system's display settings to how they were before. I might keep DF around for a few scattered features here and there, but the ones I know that work well for me happen to be available in the free version.
So I'll talk to support and we'll see what we can figure out. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/window-location-preventing-deactivation-problem-with-multi-tasking/?ID=fc2a762b-70c5-4871-be70-1f442d53a1a0#2 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 18:53:40 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/window-location-preventing-deactivation-problem-with-multi-tasking/?ID=fc2a762b-70c5-4871-be70-1f442d53a1a0#2 DisplayFusion I've noticed this issue in a couple of games as well. Unfortunately some games can behave a little weird when the Prevent Window Deactivation function is enabled because they're not really designed to be manipulated like that.

If that was the only reason you purchased DisplayFusion, we can certainly offer a refund. Just send us an email at support@displayfusion.com and we'll take care of it.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/window-location-preventing-deactivation-problem-with-multi-tasking/?ID=fc2a762b-70c5-4871-be70-1f442d53a1a0 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 00:21:37 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/window-location-preventing-deactivation-problem-with-multi-tasking/?ID=fc2a762b-70c5-4871-be70-1f442d53a1a0 DisplayFusion So I set up the Window Location rule to prevent deactivation of the window I'm gaming on.

(Never mind that I had to make my large monitor my Primary display to make it all work even though I wanted to keep my smaller one as primary)

The preventing of deactivation works like a charm, problem: it maintains keyboard focus even as I'm using other applications.
If I stop to type on a messenger, every keystroke is being sent to the game. (Which in most cases in not good)

Is there any work-around? Cause this was the reason I bought DF in the first place. ]]>
