I've been using Display Fusion for many years and I can't recall this kind of stuff ever happening before windows 10... I have a couple of programs that I use that after a while of being maximized, about 10 pixels of the edge of the window seem to bleed over into adjacent monitor. The problem goes away for a while if I unmaximize and then maximize the window, but it's still pretty annoying behaviour.
I have confirmed that this issue does not take place when DF is not running, so it is definitely a DF issue. I have use multiple monitor configurations/layouts and it happens to all of them.
The offending programs that I've noted are Visual Studio 2017 and Autodesk Inventor Professional 2018/2019.
I'm using DF on both my home computer and my work PC and it happens on both. It has also been happening over many different version of DF and I'm currently using 9.2.2. I've tied uninstalling and reinstalling DF and that didn't solve the issue either.
You can see in my attached files that the window on my landscape monitor seems to have a border or background that extends beyond the vertical line of my portrait monitor.

Is there anything specific that seems to trigger this? Monitors sleeping, workstation locked, screen saver started/ended?

New discovery.....
I just went into the DF settings and wanted to turn off the TaskBar Buttons. After applying the change, my Inventor window was sticking over onto the 2nd monitor again. 100% repeatable.
It seems like whenever the desktop loses focus or has to be refreshed the Inventor window wigs out and won't play nice.
Please find a fix for this, it's driving me nuts.

Thanks for the videos, I will re-test this again to see if I can reproduce it here.

This isn't related to this problem is it? The shadow of the tooltip bleeding over to the next screen. Or is this just a quirk of normal Windows and I'm just noticing it now?

Definitely not the same problem.
In my case, the actual window is bleeding into the 2nd monitor, not just the border or a shadow. It only seems to happen with Autodesk Inventor though. After working with their API for almost a year........it wouldn't surprise me if it's a bug in their software. lol.
That being said, the behaviour ONLY happens when I have Display Fusion running, so it has something to do with how DF hooks into the windows interface and manages window size/positions.

Ok thanks. On a side note mmmBoost, has normal windows always done what is in my screenshot and I just never noticed it?

I've been trying to reproduce this here using Visual Studio and haven't had any luck yet. Can you describe the exact options you changed in the Settings window to make the issue show up? Or did it happen as soon as you opened the Settings window?
