Normally, the Taskbars work beautifully, staying behind fullscreen windows and all that stuff.

I found one edge case where that isn't the case.

If I open up a fullscreen window in one display (ex a fullscreened YouTube window) and I send it to the other display (with Win+Shift+Left) then the Taskbar on the other display won't get behind the window in question.

This happens on both the DF and Windows Taskbars.

I know it's reaaaaaaly edge case and out there, but I just thought I'd point it out in case there's something that could potentially be done.

I'll test this out and see if there's anything we can do :)

I wasn't able to reproduce this issue here. Which version of Windows are you running?

Thanks!

I'm running Windows 8.

The best case for demonstrating this is with a fullscreened YouTube video (or really any flash video).

Ok, I've tested this in Windows 8, with a full screen YouTube video (Chrome). When I use Ctrl + Win + X to move it to the other monitor, the DisplayFusion taskbar drops behind it (as it should) in about 10 seconds. Does yours never drop behind?

If not, could you send me a debug log?
  • Enable debug logging on the Troubleshooting tab (set it to Logging: Important Only) and click Apply
  • Restart DisplayFusion
  • Reproduce the issue (please note the time so I'll know where to look in the log file)
  • Attach the %appdata%\DisplayFusion\DisplayFusion.log file to this topic (can be found by clicking the 'Open Log' button on the Troubleshooting tab)
  • Disable debug logging after sending me the log

Thanks!

I went ahead and copied out the DF event logs that occoured between going in and out of the settings to change the logging mode. Should narrow it down.

There doesn't seem to be any lines in the log that indicate the window was moved using the hotkey. At any rate, I was able to reproduce this issue with the Windows taskbar, and it seems you can work around it by clicking outside of the video on the other monitor, and then clicking back onto the video.

As for the DisplayFusion taskbar, it seems to hide behind the video no problem after I move it (after a small delay). After you move the video to the DisplayFusion taskbar, is the video still the focused window, or are you working with stuff on the other monitor at the same time?

The work around works well enough, when the video doesn't go back into its browser tab from losing focus.

I'll have to test this out a bit more. But thanks for the heads up! I'll post again when I have more info.

If this still doesn't resolve your issue, please let me know and we can troubleshoot from there. Thanks!

@jon Do i need to check "Allow taskbar reloading while fullscreen applications are running?

@Alex: You shouldn't need to, but if you could attach a copy of the info from the DisplayFusion Settings > Troubleshooting tab while you're having this issue, I'll check a couple of things :)

Thanks!

@Michael: This is a Chrome bug. The Chrome window shrinks by 1px when it loses focus, causing it to no longer be treated as a full screen application. There's an open ticket with Chrome about it, and we're going to see what we can do to work around it from our end as well.
