Windows 11 23H2 Enterprise and Display Fusion 12.0.1; three monitors (mix of brands/sizes/resolutions/aspect ratios) on a single graphics card. I've set padding on the two side monitors; one to left 192 and the other to right 300. Is there any way to sort of ignore the padding as if that part of the screen doesn't exist? I'm basically trying to shorten the width of the side monitors since it was causing me neck pain due to the ergonomics.

If that's not possible, any way that I can prevent windows from automatically filling the whole monitor (including padding) when creating a window or moving a window? I already have the Window Management checked on both monitors and I've tried a few other options but to no avail. Some of the windows maximize to the correct size but every now and then, one just goes full screen.

I am also experiencing an issue when using keyboard shortcuts to move windows to previous/next monitor (not all the time, but sometimes); it looks like the window sort of jumps twice and then it goes to the wrong monitor instead of the next/previous or sometimes flashes and stays on the same monitor. This does not happen with the padding off and it seems random.

Thanks!

I did collect a log yesterday so I could take a look of it; it's definitely noticing there is an issue. I've attached the log, it starts around line 324 (extra space where I started looking) at about 16:38:04.0870 and that specific one was when trying to move a Firefox window. Thank you!

Just wondering if anyone had a chance to look at this, or whether I can provide anymore information...

Hi there,

I'm attaching the requested info below. It certainly seems to be random when it happens and I can't to always be able to reproduce it reliable here either, but it happens often enough that it's a bit of an issue.

Sorry for the delay; I was away from work for a bit. I've attached a video of the issue (please excuse my terribly messy desk). In the first case, I try to send the window in the middle monitor to the left monitor - it does actually end up on the left monitor that time but you can see the jumping around. Then I try to send that same window back to the center monitor and you see it jump around and end up on the third/right monitor instead.

I think the issue is only when Windows are full size (and only when I have padding applied to monitors). If I turn off Window Management (hold shift to maximize window to full monitor), it seems to stop but then the windows when moved get maximized to the full display over the padding, which is unwanted behavior.

Wanted to add a few points after I did a bit more testing today. I already mentioned that the issue only occurs when padding is applied to some of the monitors, but it also seems that it only occurs when the windows to be moved are full-size/full-screen; if they are not then it seems to be fine (at least I think).

If I turn off the 'Window Management (hold shift to maximize window to full monitor)' option in the Monitor configuration, then it doesn't seem to happen (full-screen windows or not) but then of course, the windows get maximized full-screen over the paddings, which is unwanted behavior.

So it seems to be an issue with full-screen windows and a mix of padded and not-padded monitors and the desire to not have windows over the padding (unless shift is held) maybe?

Even at 500 ms, it still happens. Currently, I've set up two custom scripts for moving the windows to the previous/next monitor; if the window being moved is not full-screen, it's moved normally but if it's fullscreen, I've set it up so that it's first restored, then moved to the next/previous monitor and full-screened again after the move. That does seem resolve the issue I think although I've only had that running for a day - but perhaps it can be helpful in further pinpointing the issue.
