Thanks for the followup Keither. I've attached the log per your request.
Another issue that has been introduced after my last reboot is that the taskbars on the right side of the screen (which I believe are the additional taskbars vs. the primary driven directly by Windows) has made the text too large in the date/clock and as a result it is pushed off the screen. The primary taskbar is the right size however.
I've included a screenshot which shows this issue as well as the window size being covered by the taskbar as well.
If it helps, I'm running this on a Surface Book.

It looks like Windows might be reporting the wrong scaling level to DF. If you reboot the machine again, is the font size on the taskbar still incorrect?

A reboot did fix the text size in the taskbar so that's good.
However, still experiencing issues with the taskbar overlapping full-size windows.
Any ideas there?
Regarding the system tray icons not working, are you not able to left or right click on any of them? Or just certain ones?
And for the work area issue (programs maximizing behind the taskbar), I noticed that you have 5px padding configured for the left and right sides of the left split. If you set the padding to 0, does that make any difference?

The tray icons issue seems to have been resolved when I upgraded to Beta 10 (pre-opening this thread) so that's good.
The lingering issue seems to be the taskbar overlapping windows. I tried changing the padding to 0 but it still occurs (screenshot attached).
The padding was only set for the right/left and this issue seems to be on the vertical axis so I'm guessing it's not related.

Interesting! Is it all applications that do this, or only specific ones like Outlook?

All applications have the same issue.
If you look at the screenshot there you can see Outlook below the taskbar which you rightfully identified but it also shows Spotify on the top side going too low as well.
Yeah, that's really strange. With your split layout and scaling settings, I still can't reproduce it here. And in your troubleshooting info, the workarea size indicates that it should be reserving the space for the taskbar.
Could you backup your settings (Settings > Options > Export) and attach them? Maybe there's something in your settings that's different from mine that's contributing here.

I haven't really setup much in the way of custom settings. Even when I was adding padding between the layouts before it was just trying to fix this issue.
I'm using a Surface Book which is a common enough system and it's a pretty new build. I haven't done anything funky with my configuration either that would cause issues like this.
Settings attached as you requested. Hopefully you can find something...it's getting really annoying!

I rebooted after installing Beta 11 (I hadn't rebooted before) and things are partially better.
Now the top right split works as expected and it fills the screen properly.
However, the bottom right split now fills the entire area under the taskbar above it.
Previously both the top and right splits would evenly fill half of the taskbar.
Screenshot attached.
I've also attached debugging per your request. Testing was done at 3:43pm EST (though the log should only be for like 2 minutes so it should be pretty easy to find.
Let me know what else you need.

As another test, if you set the taskbar for the top split to the top of the screen (right-click it, navigate to Multi-Monitor Taskbar > Position > Top), do the windows then maximize to the correct sizes?

Unfortunately that doesn't appear to fix things either. The bottom right window isn't overlapped but the top right window is overlapped at the top.
Something else I'm not sure I noticed before is that the sizing left-to-right isn't quite right either (2nd screenshot attached).
It appears what the taskbars believe is the center of the screen isn't quite the same as what the windows believe is the center.

I've uninstalled for now as I was getting frustrated with it. It also seemed to be causing issues when waking from sleep.
Have you tested on a Surface Book? I have the model with the non-discrete GPU and I suspect maybe DF doesn't play friendly with onboard GPU in this system.
I was never able to reproduce the issue with the applications being partially under the taskbars, and just had another go at it with no luck. Are you still having this issue with DisplayFusion 8.1.2?
