I'm gonna guess your task bar is on the right side? That would explain the difference: the area shown is "workable" area

ka-patel commented 2 years ago

My primary desktop is on the right side but the task bar is set to show on all displays, show task bar buttons on all taskbars, and combine buttons on other taskbars to always hide labels. The size of the taskbar is same on both display and locked. Screenshot 2021-12-06 192239 Screenshot 2021-12-06 192417

Can you include a "report bug" log? image

38 pixel gap is an odd number

crutkas commented 2 years ago

@ka-patel does the actual snapping zones for PT go edge to edge and this is just an editor issue?

Like, when the editor is trying to adjust that window, can you go edge to edge?

ka-patel commented 2 years ago

I found the culprit that is causing this issue.

I am running an abandonware utility called WinBar (version 2.0.1.126 x64 Beta from https://sourceforge.net/projects/winbar/) is occupying real estate at top of the left monitor (it is identified as monitor 2 from the display settings). I am guessing that the height of that utility, 38 pixels sounds about right, is deducted in the screen size calculations. That utility is not set to remain on top or anything like that but when I do snap a window in that quadrant, it does snap below it. All else works correctly, including snapping from edge to edge no problem. I could not produce the report bug log file some odd reasons but if you want to dig deeper then please provide the process to create a log file.

Found the bug report on the desktop which is attached if there any interes PowerToysReport_2021-12-06-20-30-51.zip t.

I'd call this an app compat issue then but something we wouldn't fix. we're calling a standard API for screen size and somehow that is interfering with it.
