Hi All,
I am having a problem setting up my screen splits.
The attached jpeg shows my problem.
Basically, I have one horizontal split and my taskbar, docked to the left hand side of the screen. The expected behaviour would be that the taskbar would create some sort of excluded area on the left side of the screen and the remaining space would then be split into 2 areas. instead, the split areas use the whole width of the screen and the taskbar sits over the top.
Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this? am I missing a config setting somewhere?
Thanks,
-dan

Thanks! Still couldn't reproduce this here, but I was testing with the latest 7.0 Beta. Could you try updating (Settings > Options, enable Beta update checks and click "Check for Updates") and see if you still run into this problem?

Thanks for your help Keith,
I have upgraded to the 7.0 beta and the problem still exists.
I have attached some screenshots showing the problem in action -- specifically the shot showing screen 2.1. This shows how the default actions is to snap the window to exactly half of the left side of the screen, meaning the window will cover the taskbar.
Regards,
Daniel

Ah yes, I can reproduce the monitor selector overlay being behind the taskbar, like in your screenshot. However, when I let go of the mouse button, the application properly maximizes without going behind the taskbar. On your system, does the application itself actually end up behind the taskbar? If so, could you send a screenshot?

Hi Keith,
Yes, if you use the normal "Aero" snapping built into Windows 7, the window will not go behind the taskbar. However, as displayfusion's snapping and window management is more powerful, I would prefer to use it over the built-in Windows window management.
Attached is a screenshot. This can be reproduced by maximising a window. This makes the window fill the displayfusion virtual screen.
any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks! We'll review the logs and see what we can figure out.
I still haven't been able to reproduce it here. I can get the monitor selector overlay to show behind the taskbar, but when the Chrome window itself gets moved and maximized, it ends up in the proper spot, giving room for the taskbar. Are you just dragging the whole Chrome window from the right split to the left split, or are you tearing out a tab from Chrome and dropping it on the left split?

Hi Keith,
I have recently tested it on my work machine and have not been able to reproduce the problem. I will continue to test it on my home machine this week and see if I can isolate the issue.
Thanks for the followup.
Regards,
Daniel
