Hi, I've been using display fusion for a few years now. I've had this small issue with Firefox & Display Fusion for a while now (year+ maybe?)
The problem
Sometimes when I use the shortcut to keys (CTRL+WIN+X) to move Firefox to the next monitor, instead of moving it sort of jumps a little bit but ends up back where it started. When this happens I have to try several times until it eventually switches monitors. Firefox is the only program I've had this issue with. I believe this issue started with Firefox 4 (tabs on the top). It's really unpredictable and hard to reproduce, but I think I've managed to capture it in my "detailed log" that is attached. I'll try and dig through it to find any suspicious logs.
It's not a huge bug/issue by any means, but who knows maybe fixing this will fix something else?
Thanks,
Simon

I'm attaching another log file. I captured it right after I had Firefox "jump" on me, it only happened once before actually switching monitors. The time it happened was right around 10:00am which is pretty close to the end of the log file.
Thanks,
Simon

I've attached another log file. I believe the issue occurred around 2012/05/10 08:36:44.72. I've also attached the information in the Troubleshooting tab, I had to trim out some information about Task Manager because it was over 10MB. Hopefully this will give some more insight as to what's going on.
I do have a number of Firefox Addons, hopefully they're not interfering with DF. I can try disabling them and browsing around for a bit and see if I can still replicate this issue.

So I disabled all but to of my Firefox Addons (except Adblock Plus and Download Statusbar) and plugins (except Flash) yesterday. I just tried to move Firefox again and it was acting up again.
I attached the log file again, I believe this was the first key press:
2012/05/22 12:17:05.90: INFO:L1: frmMain:WndProc: --: --: --: --: --: --: HotKey Pressed: Move Window to Next Monitor (CTRL;WIN;88)

I just installed 4.1.0 b11 which was said to have "Fix: Resolved a maximized Firefox window movement issue". I'm not sure if that was targeted at the issue I've been having or another issue. Either way, I'm still experiencing my issue.
I noticed that maximized windows move a lot slower than non-maximized windows - that is to say when they move at all.
I've been busy with other stuff and I do still need to try with a fresh firefox profile to see if that resolves anything.

I'm up to date on the beta channel, sitting at version 15.0 right now.
I think I know why I said it seems slower. When Firefox is maximized, it won't change windows until the Win + X keys are released (Ctrl can still be pressed). When minimized or using any other programs, the window switches when all 3 keys are pressed down. I don't want to get to off topic, but is this new?

I was having the same issue for almost a year now as well but just dealt with it. Finally looked to see if there was a solution today and TaDa, someone else had the same issue and it's just been resolved! Thanks!
