I dont know where the issue is, but here is my story.
I'm running a Dual screen setup on Windows 8.1.
On it, I have both Displayfusion 6.1 and StartmenuX (disabled for the moment).
In DIsplayfusion Alt-Tab functionality is enabled: (Show on Current Monitor Only, Show Current Windows Only)
I connect through RDP to another computer (Windows 8.1) with dual screen enabled in RDP.
Everything fine here.
The external machine, (call it w2), Has Displayfusion 6.1 and also StartmenuX installed and enabled.
In Displayfusion on w2, the Alt-Tab handler is the same as in w1.
From w2, I have a Citrix Session (Full screen / Desktop mode in Citrix Receiver) and a VMWare Workstation on the other display.
Which I work from, jumping from VMWare to Citrix and back again, several times, Some browsing in Chrome direcly on W2.
From time to time, I loses the taskbar from w2 and w1 is overlaying it.
I attach two screenshot over both displays taskbars.
Perhaps it is some strange thing inside StartmenuX or Displayfusion, dont know.
Please advise what to do.
Thanks!

Is it the Windows taskbar (the one on the primary monitor) or the DisplayFusion taskbar that's showing up over top of your RDP session?

Hi,
after some tries and errors i have come up to this conclusion.
When an application is taking focus on main computer (w1 in the above example). I get this issue.
And it is only on the primary monitor.
I have also noticed that StartmenuX is has the most issues. I have tried a couple of days with StartmenuX enabled and a couple of days without. And it is more frequent issues when StartmenuX is enabled. But I still got the issues when StartmenuX is disabled on main computer.
I dont think that those issues is related to displayfusion. or?
Any idea if it can be solved ?
Thanks
Edit:
Answer on above question, it is Windows own taskbar.

Hi, This still seems to be an issue in DisplayFusion Pro 7.1
While having the Alt+Tab Handler on RDP does not hook Alt+Tab, and it displays as per the alt+tab handler
turning off the handler resolves the issue.
@Rhys: Which version of Windows? Also, is your RDP session full screen or windowed?

hi Keith
8.1 and both windowed and full-screen
Thanks! I couldn't reproduce this issue here. Are you using Microsoft's Remote Desktop client (mstsc.exe) or a different remote desktop utility?
