It may be in 0.18, more probably in 0.19.

Runelite doesnt work with FancyZones out of the box (nor widows default snapping)

Partial workaround: Disable its 'custom chrome window' in the runelite settings

S3 Browser doesn't snap to zones.

Versions Powertoys v0.18.2 S3 Browser v8.9.7

OnTopReplica - https://github.com/LorenzCK/OnTopReplica/releases I was previously on I believe v0.14.1 before updating to v0.18.2(PowerToys)

OnTopReplica no longer is getting resized to match the specific zone shape. Previously OnTopReplica would retain the window shape(i.e.16:9 screen ratio*) it was mirroring but scale to fit within the FancyZones. Now it just snaps to the top left of any zone area while keeping the same size. For anyone using OnTopReplica you would have to uncheck 'show window border' for the snap interaction to happen.

Cannot get 3CX to snap either (all other programs fine).

Same issue with OBS Studio (using version 23.1.0 64 bit)

The windows Sound Control panel still doesn't allow snapping to zones via dragging, even though it was added to the milestones for the 20.01 release. Window pictured.

@allansramblings where is the tracking issue for that? I'm playing with that window and it looks like you can't resize it anyways. If a window expressly says "no thank you" to resizing or has limits, we respect those restrictions.

I mentioned it in this previous issues thread: https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/209#issuecomment-575800513 where it was added to release milestones. I wasn't looking to resize the window, but place it in a fixed, predetermined location that's much easier to do through the use of FancyZones.

Autodesk Revit (2019 or 2020) does not appear that child windows honor fancyzones.

[zoeesilcock]

Unity (2018 and 2019 tested, but likely all versions), only the main window can be assigned to zones. Tabs in Unity can be detached into their own windows, those windows cannot be assigned to a zone. It would be super helpful if all those sub-windows could be assigned to zones also as it would allow making a layout using FancyZones and thereby circumventing the limitations of Unity's own layout system.

Spotify seems to snap only to zones on my primary monitor. On my secondary monitor it doesn't snap. Also when I use the windows key + arrow keys (I've got override Windows Snap Shortcut enabled) Spotify immediately jumps back to my primary monitor.

[enricogior]

@PatrickdeBie that is a different problem, specific to Spotify, please one a new issue with detailed description, thanks.

[PatrickdeBie]

Will do when I got a spare moment. Thanks for the reply!

I am personally having issues trying to snap task manager and aimp music player.

@enricogior do you know if this issue also applies in any way to windows created via Unity mode in VMware? I have some window resizing/positioning scripts set up in DisplayFusion (on the host system) that seem to be able to control these virtualized app windows just fine, but FancyZones has no effect on them. If not relevant to this issue, is this something that FZ would ever be able to address? I'll create a new issue if so.

[enricogior]

@pressRtowin I haven't tested it, but I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't work since VNWare workstation is also not working with FZ.
