DisplayFusion 3.1.8.107 (beta 7)

DisplayFusion is causing http://store.steampowered.com/about/ to ignore the resolution of the secondary monitor when it is maximised if the secondary monitor is a lower resolution (I do not know what happens in the reverse scenario, where the secondary monitor is a higher resolution).

In my case, the primary monitor (left) uses 1920x1200 as its resolution while the secondary monitor (right, bottom-aligned) uses 1680x1050 as its resolution. When maximising Steam on the secondary monitor with a DisplayFusion taskbar active Steam will maximise as though it was attempting to fill the 1920x1200 monitor and thus has a section of the right/bottom edges of the application cut-off. This issue occurs with other Steam windows as well (such as the Friends list); it appears that all of these windows belong to the one Steam.exe (they don't spawn processes of their own, if that's useful).

The only workarounds I have discovered are to not maximise Steam on the secondary monitor (smaller) or closing DisplayFusion to disable the taskbar.

Note: Using a third-party image host because attaching the 560KiB file (despite the 5MB limit) gave me the error "PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 1920 bytes) in C:\Web\BinaryFortress\Root\Forum\Sources\Subs-Graphics.php on line 389". Good thing I wrote my post in notepad or I'd have lost it a few times.

Scroll right to see the impact, if your resolution is low enough to cause image scrolling.

Just a quick note about the image attachments, next time just upload the 4 images separately and it should be ok. Combining the 4 images into 1 large image makes it hard to see them all. :)

This looks like a Steam issue (it wouldn't be the first one) but I'll see what I can do. Thanks!

I have good news and bad news. The good news is that I was able to reproduce this issue on my test machine. The bad news is that it is a Steam issue. Even if I exit DisplayFusion and dock a different application to the screen edge (like Winamp or Google Desktop Sidebar) Steam still presents the same issues. :( Hopefully the folks at Valve will realize this issue exists and fix it.

Hi Jon,

Thanks for looking into the bug for me, I didn't have any other docking applications so I hadn't considered testing for that. I took your advice on the image splitting (not really sure why I didn't do that before) and reposted the bug report on the Steam forums http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?p=15113832 =)

Hopefully the Steam guys will get this fixed up for their next release. :)
