I'm trying to drag one, of several, tabs from a browser (Firefox) on one monitor, to another monitor, and by default with Display Fusion 12.01, the tab bounces back to the first monitor.
I have tried finding the answer myself, and embarassingly I did find it months ago, but now I can't find it again after a windows reinstall. What was the trick for that again?
I can't seem to reproduce this issue here. If you exit DisplayFusion, does it still happen?

Hi Keith, Exiting DF makes the issue dissapear back to how things work on any other computer I use that doesn't have DF.
It's frustrating that I know the solution is on this forum or reddit somewhere, but I can't figure out what search words will bring it out.

Debug file attached. After clearing log with L1 enabled, I dragged this forum window to reproduce issue, and exported the log.

Thanks for sending over the log. Were you trying to drag the tab from monitor 1 to monitor 3?

Yes either from 3 to 1 or 1 to 3. Those two are side by side.
4 is a drawing pad and 2 is a projector.
If you disable the "Move newly opened windows to current monitor" option on the DisplayFusion Settings > Window Management tab, does that make any difference at all?

Yes, that setting does stop the undesirable browser tab behavior. However, it also turns off a feature that generally is nice, and is one of the reasons I'm using Display Fusion.
Ok, that's interesting! I think I can reproduce this here now if I drag the tab to another monitor but move my mouse back to the original monitor before the new window opens with the tab in it. Does that seem to be the case on your machine as well? i.e. if you drag it to the other monitor and make sure to leave the mouse on that monitor until after it opens, does it stay on the one you dragged it to?

So after disabling "Move newly opened application windows to the current monitor", and then re-enabling it, the desired behaviour seems to be working now. Browser tabs can be moved to another monitor and they stay there.
There was never an issue with where the mouse cursor was dropped off. This is also something that I'm certain I had disabled and enabled previously too, but for some reason now the issue seems resolved. Not sure if it was a software glitch, a driver incompatibilty, or what. I'll see if things keep working as desired for the next few weeks.
Strange, sounds good. Thanks for the update!
