Updated to 9.6 (Beta 4) on my work laptop earlier and noticed that windows are no longer snapping, regardless of application or monitor. Windows 10 Enterprise, 1709.

Just updated to the same version on my PC, same issue. Windows 10 Pro, 1909.

:(

Window Snapping is working for me when I test here. If you haven't already, could you try a full reboot?

That's the first thing I tried but issue remains. Since posting this, I found that window snapping is VERY inconsistent since the update and I can't quite make sense of it. I use 3 monitors and windows seem to snap fairly reliably on the left sides only, but not on bottom, top or right. This is on any of the monitors.

While writing this reply, I didn't think to test different applications but I just noticed that this seems to primarily affect Chrome windows; folders or other applications appear to snap as intended on my PC. I'm on Chrome "Version 79.0.3945.56 (Official Build) beta (64-bit)."

Just tested my laptop and it's not just Chrome there, I'm also having this issue with Skype for Business... but folders and other applications seem fine.

Strange! On the Window Snapping tab, do you have "snap to edges of applications" enabled? If so, does disabling that make any difference?

It's enabled, yes. No change in window snapping behavior when disabled however.

Yes, window snapping works as expected when rolling back to 9.5.

Ok, could you update to the beta again and then send me a debug log?

  • On the DisplayFusion Settings > Troubleshooting tab, change the Logging drop-down to "L1: Log Minimal" and click Apply
  • Try one of the broken Window Snapping scenarios
  • Click the "Export Info to File" button on the Settings > Troubleshooting tab
  • Reply with the file attached
  • Disable debug logging after sending the log

Thanks!

Thanks! I noticed your snap distance is set to 7. If you increase that to 15 or 20 does it make any difference?

Ok, thanks! I think I can reproduce this here with Chrome. I don't have access to Skype for Business but hopefully if we can fix the Chrome issue it will also resolve that one as well. We'll keep you posted as soon as we think we have it sorted out.

Thanks!

I assume there are no updates on this issue with the release of 9.6. Issue remained in all the beta builds (which I kept checking on my laptop), but I downgraded to 9.5 on my desktop since I use window snapping more frequently (and not having it functional is reeeally annoying, heh).

Hopefully in one of the 9.7 beta builds in the near future. :)

Window Snapping is working correctly for me in 9.6.1. Is it broken for all applications on your machines, or only specific ones?

Note it's not entirely broken with Chrome. Just inconsistent, sometimes snaps, sometimes doesn't. Have not had time to investigate when it does or doesn't but 9.6 did break it.

+1 for chrome (sometimes it works some seconds later it is broken)

Does any of you use Spotify? I have the same problem with Spotify.
(Telegram also sometimes don't work, but not so often as chrome)

Every version you break snapping, which is the only feature I use. This is REALLY annoying.
About half of the windows don't snap anymore (I have it on 25 pixels). Especially horizontally works inconsistent or not at all.

It almost seems like my computers uptime affects it. Cause it worka nd snaps no problem after a restart but i normally dont ever restart (until windows update forces me to) so I usually have a couple weeks as my normal uptime.

No change in window snapping behavior in 9.6.2 Beta 1, no improvements here. Chrome and Skype for Business still not snapping reliably (or at all, really).

I'm not seeing any relation to uptime or other factors, i.e. happens right after reboot.

EDIT: Downgraded to 9.5 again and window snapping works as intended.

I've found in another area of the web, that the reason Chrome will not snap anymore is because Google disabled Web Hooks from applications, or something along those lines anyway. By them disabling whatever these "Hooks" are, it prevents Display Fusion from being able to control Chrome's snapping. They did however, postpone the disabling of the Hooks by what seems to be a month or so, but has sense finally disabled it fully...

On another note, unrelated to Chrome, snapping of general applications has stopped working fully :D Things like Outlook, Spotify, KeePass, and the Windows File Explorer, just to name a few, no longer snap as of a few weeks ago... They do not snap to eachother, and they do not snap to the edges of the screens... getting kind of frustrating lately D:

Chrome is snapping fine in DF 9.5, it's something that changed in 9.6. ;)

Yes, sorry I forgot to include the bit that Google was disabling their access to these Hooks, thus they took the ability out in DisplayFusion. There was a thread about Binary having disabled it in an update, but that Google had postponed their disabling of the Hook access, so they put it back in with another update. They got word that Google is about to disable these Hooks again, and thus removed it from DisplayFusion once again pre-emptively.

If I can find the thread again, I'll post a link to it, but I have chrome clearing its history and cache each time the window is closed so it may be difficult to locate it since I never actually posted in it.

Boy time sure does fly when experiencing bugs and regressions from updates.

What the fuck is the hold up on your next "bug fix" release, seriously, I love you guys and your programs, but ffs, every update breaks something and you take ages to fix the regressions, how about you do quicker, smaller releases to get these fixes out faster to people instead of trying to cram as much "changes" under the hood in one release... because that's only going to break something else for somebody, which you'll take ages again to fix.

Hi all!

We've just spend a few days completely re-working the Window Snapping code, and so far in internal testing, it's much more reliable, and also much smoother when dragging the windows around. Could you update to 9.7 Beta 9 and let us know how it works for you? We haven't noticed any issues during internal testing, but would like to confirm that it hasn't broken anything on your systems as well :)

Thanks!

I don't know, but this is the one window I always move around which is why I notice it most. In previous betas the same happened for Outlook email windows, but that works now.
Do you need more logs for ProcessHacker? It's an open source + freeware application, so you can also try it yourself. By the way, I would recommend ProcessHacker to everyone for MUCH more control over processes and process information.

It has worked in the past, but some versions also didn't work. DF clearly has some unknown flaw that occurs on my machine.
Is there another special debug build you want me to run to help you?
I'd say if you figure out what goes wrong with ProcessHacker, you'll help other (as of now) unknown applications that fail too (for other users).
