Currently the value for the setting "Change window height to specified percentage" in the functions tab seems to use screen height rather than display height, this results in the windows stretching past the taskbar if you set the value to 100%.
It seems to me that the default behavior should be that the taskbar height should be automatically substracted from the screen area, but at the very least it would be great to have an option to decide which area the percentage should refer to. I would think few people intend for "size to 100%" of height or width to mean that the window in question should end up being covered by the taskbar.
Right now I have to experiment to see what percentage of my screen heigh the taskbar occupies and then manually set this value in each of my window resize functions.
Thanks!
Hello,
Is this happening for any specific applications, or all of your applications?
Thanks!

I just started having this issue. Unfortunately, it's intermittent, not reproducible. I'm using this function shown in the attached image to move a window to the right side of the monitor with max height. Sometimes, the window extends below the taskbar and is obscured. Other times, it's placed just above the taskbar, which is what I want.
So far, I think I've only noticed it in Edge.
DF: 10.1.2
Windows 11: 23H2

Ok,it's happening again. I've attached the troubleshooting file. Please let me know if you need anything else. Thanks!

Thanks for sending that over. Do you just have a single Windows taskbar on your middle monitor?

Yes, I have a single taskbar on my center (main display) monitor.
I recently set my taskbar to autohide. However, right now it isn't hiding. I tried unsetting, and setting the autohide option, but it still won't hide. And resizing the window with DF puts the window beneath the taskbar. That is, the original issue is happening again. So, it may be more of a Windows issue than a DisplayFusion issue.
Yeah strange, it looks like your work area is set to the entire monitor, so it's ignoring the taskbar. If this is the Windows taskbar there isn't much we can do there. Do you have any other 3rd party taskbar apps that might be interfering here?

The only thing I can think of is Fences. Others have reported their taskbar sometimes won't autohide. I'll look into that and see if a solution to that resolves this issue as well.

It might have something to do with nVidia G-SYNC. I turn that off and on in nVidia control panel depending on what game I'm going to play. The work area=entire monitor issue was just happening with G-SYNC off. Turning it on didn't fix it. Turning it back to off did fix it.
Weird, I wonder if it's just an explorer refresh that's fixing it. If you restart Windows Explorer via task manager the next time this happens, does that fix it up?

No, restarting Windows Explorer does not fix the issue. But toggling G-SYNC in nVidia control panel does seem to consistently fix it.

Yeah, it's not DF issue. Thanks anyway. At least I found a workaround.
Can you change from setting the window to a percentage, to a specific pixel value instead?

I have 3 monitors with different resolutions. I could set the pixel value for the main monitor, but it would be off for the other 2. The nice thing about the percentage is that it uses the full monitor height on the 2 non-main monitors that have no taskbar, and adjusts for the taskbar (at least when the GSYNC thing isn't causing problems) on the main monitor. I use these functions quite a lot. I'll probably just continue with the GSYNC reset fix; I just have to do every 2-3 days or so.
