Update to 0.58.0 changed FancyZones layout selections #18056

Closed ScottCE closed 2 years ago

ScottCE commented 2 years ago

Microsoft PowerToys version

0.58.0

Running as admin

Area(s) with issue?

FancyZones

Steps to reproduce

I have not tested to see if this issue occurs without the use of a custom layout, but that is a circumstance of my issue. I have just started using FancyZones with version 0.57.2, but have been using PowerToys since v0.11.0 and this is the first issue I've had with any of the features that was obvious enough to report a bug.

  1. Create a custom FancyZones layout while running 0.57.2
  2. Apply "No layout" to monitor 1, custom layout to monitor 2
  3. Switch HDMI KVM (monitor 1) & DisplayPort switch (monitor 2) to secondary computer
  4. Switch both back to affected laptop
  5. Upgrade to v0.58.0
  6. Discover that both monitors are set to the default "Columns" and/or "Priority Grid" layouts (I'm unsure if both layouts were the same, but both had three columns)

EDIT: After reviewing a few of the previously-opened Issues, I realize that my KVM configuration may have something to do with this issue. Added new steps 3 and 4 to account for this possibly being the true issue, however testing the use of the KVM & DP switches after the upgrade to 0.58.0 does not cause the issue to reoccur.

✔️ Expected Behavior

Upgrading to 0.58.0 from any prior version would not modify the selected FancyZones layout selections.

❌ Actual Behavior

Upgrading to 0.58.0 from 0.57.2 modified or reset the FancyZones layout selection to "Columns" and/or "Priority Grid."

Thank you. After you disconnect and reconnect a monitor, the system can give it another name which is used as a key in FancyZones. So since FancyZones sees a new name, it treats the monitor as a new and applies a default layout there. It's a known problem, I'll close this issue as a duplicate. /dup of https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/16370
