Google Chrome full screen multi-taskbar problem.

Hi, I experiencing a bit of an annoyance with the multi-taskbar feature of DisplayFusion. As you can see in the attached, the full screen Shockwave flash player in Google Chrome is shown to be active on the right-hand monitor (the default), but rather is full screen in the other monitor. This, however, does not manifest with the same circumstances in IE9 (which as far as I know, uses the same flash player). I've had this problem for about the passed month. Is this due to my settings, or is it a software glitch?

Thanks, Jordan.

I'm hoping to get a chance to test this out today, and if there's anything we can do to fix it up, I'll be sure to post an update.

Thanks!

Quick question, are you using Ctrl+Win+X to move the full screen Flash video to the other screen?

No, just full screening the player on the left monitor.

Ok, I've just had a chance to test it out, and it seems to do the same thing even when DisplayFusion isn't running, so unfortunately it looks like it's just a bug with the Flash implementation in Google Chrome. Could you check your system as well to see if it does the same thing when DisplayFusion isn't running?

Thanks!

Sorry for the late reply.

I don't see how that would make anything difference, because without DisplayFusion all the programs are shown to be on the one monitor with the taskbar. If understand you correctly, one would expect the flash player to be shown to be on the default monitor's taskbar without DisplayFusion running. Is this what you meant, or have I misunderstood?
Thanks, Jordan.

Ah, of course! That was a silly oversight on my part. I must not have had a coffee that morning

You're absolutely right, and I've just re-tested it with Firefox and IE, and they both seem to work fine. I'll add this to our list and we'll see what we can do.

Thanks!

Unfortunately we won't be able to fix this issue

There's no way for us to detect that full screen Flash window in Chrome, so we can't add any compatibility settings to force the button to move to the DF taskbar.

Sorry!

I am using Google Chrome 21.0.1180.89 + DisplayFusion v4.2.0, Beta 3, the video can play on same monitor with Chrome in full screen normally.

@alan-tw: Yeah, the video plays on the correct screen, it's just that the video window gets a taskbar button on the Windows taskbar

I know that this isn't a displayfusion problem but i would like to know if anyone has found the solution to this?

Just a quick update. We've just released DisplayFusion 5.0 Beta 8 (http://www.displayfusion.com/Download/Beta/), and this issue should be fixed up. We had another look at it and were able to work around the issue.

Thanks!
