May we have a bit more information, like resolution of both screens, scaling et cetera. Are there any other programs or settings that could influence the screens? I only see one monitor shown in the top of the editor.

[mariogarciaprado]

Hi, Jay-o-Way, yes of course the screenshot is for both screens, you can see both below with the two windws status bar, the first one is on the right (laptop Lenovo y540) and the second on the left (ZenScreen touch), both with resolution at 1920*1080 and 125% scaled. Yes after what you ask more details I switch left screen with the right and everythings its ok, so the bugs is whe the main (number 1) screen is at right.

Investigating a fix for this issue

[Jay-o-Way]

Good to hear @tameemzabalawi, do you know the cause?

[tameemzabalawi]

@Jay-o-Way No, not yet

[Jay-o-Way]

@mariogarciaprado two questions:

• there have been a number of updates on the mean time, v0.53 is coming any minute. Can you try the latest version and let us know if this issue is still valid?
• do you have the setting "allow zones to span across multiple screens" checked? Can you tell if the problem is solved if you uncheck it?

[tameemzabalawi]

The issue is still there, I reproduced it

[tameemzabalawi]

After some investigation, The issue is happening because there is a scaling factor applied to a screen or more, and it looks like we're not taking this into consideration (that's what I'm checking right now)

[Jay-o-Way]

Only in the horizontal direction?

[tameemzabalawi]

in both directions

[tameemzabalawi]

It looks like we need to change how we get the monitor info because it even overflows vertically on the secondary screen when the scaling is set to 100% on both screens, I think it is hard to solve if we keep combining the values of both screens (all screens) together

At the moment, this issue doesn't hold a high priority due to our current workload. The fix requires significant changes in both FancyZones and Editor. So it is unlikely to be completed in the immediate future. We'll keep this task in our backlog for consideration when our capacity allows for it. Thank you for your understanding and patience.

Is this still an issue with the latest version? /needinfo
