Fancy Zones not working for single app #26046

Open cjbarth opened 1 year ago

cjbarth commented 1 year ago

Microsoft PowerToys version

0.69.1

Installation method

PowerToys auto-update

Running as admin

Yes

Area(s) with issue?

FancyZones

Steps to reproduce

I downloaded the ZIP version of https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka, v5.1.0, and ran it. The program runs fine, but if I hold down shift while dragging, nothing happens. When I do that with every other app, I get the expected behavior.

✔️ Expected Behavior

I'm expecting to see the zones and them to change color as I move and then for the window to resize when I release the mouse.

❌ Actual Behavior

Nothing. The window doesn't resize and the zones don't show.

Other Software

I also have installed Dell Display Manager v2.1, but even when I close this I get the same behavior.

FWIW, DDM seems the have a strange behavior with this app when it is running. I have "Easy Arrange" disabled, but when I drag this window, and DDM is running, the Easy Arrange overlay shows up to try to get me to pick a layout in which to drop Czkawka, but even if I do, it doesn't resize the window. The disabling of "Easy Arrange" is obeyed for every other app on the system. So, there is clearly a problem with this app's response to windowing commands, but maybe Fancy Zones can work around it?
