In version 11.0-Beta4, when trying to open the system tray, it always opens in the top left corner (of the primary monitor), regardless of where it was clicked (second or thrid monitor), and the arrow that opens it stays highlighted.
This intermittently happened in the past but it always fixed itself after a couple more clicks so it wasn't that annoying.
But now nothing seems to fix it.

Looks like installing this version permanently broke something, I have rolled back to Beta3 and it's now happening with this one too.
I am 100% sure that it was DF that did this, I haven't touched anything else and this started right after updating to Beta4.

I just restarted DF (still Beta3) and now clicking on the system tray arrow makes the tray flash in the top left corner for a second then moves it to the correct position.

Thanks for sending that over. Could you send a video of the issue happening as well?

Since I cannot use this version I just now realized that the start menu is bugged as well, it also opens on the primary monitor every time.

It looks like the start menu issue is related to OpenShell, I was able to reproduce that here. I can't reproduce the tray overflow issue though, we'll take a look into it and see if we can find anything.
Thanks!

Thanks! Let me know if I can provide anything else for the investigation.

This issue still persists in beta5 and despite it having this in the release notes:
Fix: OpenShell start menu now opens on correct taskbar
it still always opens on the primary monitor.
Ok, we've re-opened it and will take another look.

Hope you can fix the the system tray issue as well (the one I originally opened this topic for).
If you disable Taskbar Magic from running on startup and then disable the DisplayFusion advanced setting that shows the taskbar above the Windows taskbar, does the issue still persist the next time you reboot?

What is that setting called? I can't find anything in Advanced Settings searching for "above".

I just tried exiting Taskbar Magic (without changing any setting in DF or rebooting) and this seems to work.
But I cannot live without Taskbar Magic because that's the only thing that can actually hide the original taskbar on the primary monitor.
Ah okay, we'll add that to our list to see if there's anything we can do there.
Thanks!

This kind of works in v11 but needed a PC restart after install and now the systray flashes in the upper left corner and then moves to where it should have opened in the first place.

New problem, but not sure if related: now when clicking on the clock, the calendar always opens on the primary monitor instead of the one it was clicked on. This was working in Beta2.
Should I open a new topic about this issue?
Could you send me an updated copy of your troubleshooting info?

Also while I was doing this, the systray issue got back. DF restart does not fix it, only PC restart does and only for some time it seems.

Thanks for sending that over. It looks like you have "Don't Move Windows Taskbar Popups" enabled, if you turn that off and restart DisplayFusion it should fix it up.

I enabled this setting because I don't want any popups to be moved and was hoping it would also prevent notification popups from moving but it does not do that either.
Now I tried to disable this setting (then restart PC) and the calendar won't even open on first try, I always have to click it twice then it first appears on the primary monitor then moves to where it was supposed to be opened.

That setting only applies for items that appear directly from the taskbar, like the internet/sound popup, or the calendar pop up.
The calendar appears on the primary first because we need to poll for it once it's opened before we can move it. It seems to work fine on first click here, can you send me a debug log for that issue?
Just level 1 should be fine

There you go. Actually while doing this, I have discovered that it's not the second click that makes it eventually appear, it opens on the first click but with ~3 seconds delay.

Thanks for sending that over. It looks like you still have the "Don't move windows taskbar popups" advanced setting turned on. That should be preventing this from moving completely, but maybe it's causing that delay. Can you disable that setting, restart DisplayFusion, and see if the same thing happens?

Sorry about that, I tried disabling that setting but it did not help with the delay. If it is enabled, the calendar will open on the primary monitor with delay, and if it is disabled, it will open on the primary monitor (with delay) and then move to the place where it should open.

Ah, could you send another log with it disabled?

In this test, I did the following:
1. install 11.0.2
2. restart PC
3. try to open calendar, opens with delay on primary monitor (did it twice)
4. change the popup setting from the default that the installer always sets (don't move) to move
5. restart DF
6. try to open calendar, opens with delay on primary monitor, then with a smaller delay, moves to where it was clicked (did it twice)
7. and now the original problem where the systray always opens in the topleft corner of the primary monitor and its open arrow stays highlighted forever, is back again.

The problem with this delay is that it is huge, up to 3 seconds and it was not there in earlier versions.
Thanks for the clarification though.
