After enabling and customizing the taskbars on my extra monitors on windows 7 i've noticed that when i use windows+shift+left/right to move a window from one screen to another that the taskbars on the original and destination screens take a second or two to update and reflect the change in the windows location on my desktop.
is this a bug, or just a limitation of the extra taskbars in displayfusion and/or windows 7?
Does that seem to happen all the time, or only if the CPU usage is already high due to DisplayFusion or another application running up the CPU?

All the time. observed it happenning with the task manager open showing only 10% cpu usage and 32% memory usage when it was happening.
something else ive also come to notice after further settings adjustment is that when trying to remove the system try and show desktop buttons on the extra taskbars whichever i try to remove last does not remove itself unless i go into the overall settings and disable and then re-enable the taskbars in the main settings.
It sounds like DisplayFusion isn't responding correctly when you're making config changes, is that correct? For the performance issues, do you still experience the high CPU usage if you disable the DisplayFusion taskbars? Thanks!

This happens simply when moving windows from one monitor to another. im not making any changes to any displayfusion or system config settings when this is occurring.
Additonally my cpu usage is not what i would call high. baseline cpus usage while my system is idle hovers around 12% with the taskbars enabled, and is the same with them disabled.
The taskbars can be delayed in responding to the window change. Did you reboot after the DisplayFusion install/update? I'm just interested to know if the hooks were loaded on a fresh boot or during the update. Thanks!

This was initially after a clean install of 9.7 as ive never used displayfusion before (im brand new to the program, but not multi-monitor software). I also have done a fresh reboot of the system too in order to check if that was possibly the issue, same thing happens one way or the other.
Going by what you've said though it seems that this delay is just a regular occurrence because of how the program handles additional non-native taskbars?
A 1-2 second delay is sometimes as fast as DisplayFusion can track the windows in some situations unfortunately.

Alright, good to know it wasn't a bug or potentially an issue with my system. Thanks for the info.
