My system is suffering from a couple of malfunctions; I report them both in the same post because I suspect them to be correlated.
First: the function "Prevent mouse cursor from snagging on unaligned monitor edges" stopped working for me with version 9.5; but also with previous versions it kept "turning off" by itself (like on hybernation or reboot); quotes are because the checkmark in the config remained "on", but the feature was not working; unmarking+apply+mark+apply turned it back on. Now this trick doesn't work anymore.
Second: alignment of my two displays works fine, but gets "erased" on reboot (survives hybernations). I can't tell how it worked with versions below 9.5
It' a single integrated display chip, with two monitors, Windows 7 and Display Fusion Pro 9.5
I feel like it's something like: at boot time the secondary display is "missing", some features get re-set, and then the secondary display gets initialized. Forgot to mention I used the display in extended desktop mode.
What debug data shall I provide?
Thank you :)
PS: I forgot to mention that I use 7+TaskbarTweaker, TClock and ClassicShell (maybe it's time to update this...)

>you could create a Monitor Profile in DisplayFusion with the correct configuration, and then set that to load on startup using a Trigger rule.
I'll do that. The profile is already there.
>it sounds like the mouse hooks aren't loading for some reason.
Hmm I'd better disable the ton of mouse utilities I have and retry...
Among other I use: KatMouse, MouseImp, X-Mouse Button Control, 4T Tray Minimizer, Volumouse, ClassicShell (I know, I should update also that) and I was considering adopting AltDrag.

Here it is!
Thank you so much.

Thanks! The main hook processes look like they're running. Did exiting those other apps make any difference?

Arrgh the culprit is XMouseButtonControl.
I really need that util for my trackballs.
Now I'm trying all of it's tweakings.
Is there something specific I can do?
What could I write to its author?
Thank you Keith
It could be a hook chain issue. When it's not working, if you just restart DisplayFusion, does the anti-snag start working?

Yes!!!
WhatTheHack, I thought to be quite good at debugging, but couldn't think of this myself.
I use StartupDelayer, so I can shuffle the loading order of stuff at logon/startup. I will swap XMouseButtonControl and DisplayFusion and report (sloths poop more often than I reboot).
Thank you again Keith!
No worries, glad I could help!
