Hello there, I'm on Windows 8.1 on DF 7.3b2, though this bug has been present since at least DF7.2.

When I click on 1password specifically, the menu will always appear on the default Windows taskbar, rather than the Display Fusion taskbar that I click it on. If I move the default Windows taskbar to a different monitor, when I right click, the menu will appear on that.

I'm not sure if it's a 1password bug or a DisplayFusion bug, either way I haven't been able to find much information. I tried disabling application hooks for 1password.exe and the Agile Agent application to no avail. Seems to work fine with other tray icons.

While I have your attention, what's the best way to disable the default windows taskbar? I seem to recall someone talking about a program, but I think it was a dead link. Ideally I'd prefer to do something without installing another program, even if it requires a greater effort.

Cheers!

I was able to reproduce this here, but it looks to be a bug in 1Password. 1Password should check the mouse cursor location when it shows that menu, but it looks like they're just defaulting to showing it over the system tray on the Primary monitor.

An app called ShyBar seems to work pretty well for disabling the Windows taskbar in my testing. Make sure to set the Windows taskbar to auto-hide first, then disable it with ShyBar, and enable the "Show taskbar on all monitors" option in the DisplayFusion Settings > Advanced Settings window.

Hope that helps!
