I like to keep my chat windows (like from steam, pidgin, etc) in the corners of my monitors. however, I noticed that if I let them snap, the image of the window freezes in place, but I am still able to communicate through them. Basically, I am still able to type in the screen, and interact with the tabs, but I won't see anything I type, or which tab I'm on until I move the window away from the corner. It is the same with messages I recieve; I won't be able to see them until I move the window.

Any idea what might be causing this?

it's kinda hard to show this in a screenshot, so I've chosen not to attach one.

Awesome, that's exciting

I've this exact issue, using Steam with DF v4.0.1 as well as 4.1.0 Beta 1.

Sliding the Steam window seems to force it to refresh, but if left snapped in position it remains frozen.

I'm using Windows 7 64bit (did they even do a 32bit W7?).

Cheers!

Only when snapping to other windows (including other Steam windows).

I can confirm it acts normally when snapped to the edge of the screen - not the way Windows does it by default, (also achieved with the WIN + Left/Right shortcut) but using DisplayFusion's technique.

I've tested it using the main window - in my case, the 'friends' panel, as well as the 'messaging' window for individual chats.

In order to test the main window, I opened the 'add a friend...' dialogue (a browser contained inside the much larger 'community' steam window) and snapped it to the friends panel. The friends panel freezes until it is moved away from the main window, or the main window is closed.

I hope this helps - I can do a quick video showing exactly how to recreate this bug, if my instructions aren't too clear. It won't be until tonight (GMT), though. I'm out celebrating my 25th birthday today!

Still broken on v4.1.0, Beta 3. Will keep testing as new betas come out.

Still broken using v4.1.0, Beta 4.

Thanks! Not a problem, will sort one out tomorrow and post it here when it's up on YouTube.

There you go! Hopefully this will do the trick!

Yep. It's impossible to snap the windows together without the feature enabled, after all!

Brilliant, thanks! The compatibility feature is pretty useful, I wasn't even aware I could do this.

And cheers for taking the time to look into it - when I've put effort in to help bring similar stuff to light in the past with other software, I usually find I get a "we'll look into it" and that's about it. Nice to see some real community engagement!

I can keep posting as new betas come out, or hold off until I see a specific "this steam issue has been fixed" in the changelog - I don't want to spam up the place if it's a low priority fix.

Sounds good to me, thanks again!
