Hi! Long time user (10-ish years?), first time caller.
On my new box using Win 11 22H2 (build 22621.1702) I am experiencing unexpected behaviors with my Window Position Profiles.
In the past, I was able to do a wildcard * in the name field for a window type like an Opera/Chrome/IE/Teams type window where the name would change freqeuntly depending on the website or area of a program you were in.
In my current experience, windows will not move if given a *, or null set, or even removing the field entirely.
I can get Outlook, both Mail and Calendar to act appropriately. However, programs like Opera, Notion, and Teams just sit there if I take out the name operator in any of those 3 methods. If I leave them in, they will move. Once I move to a different tab (any browser) or section of the program (Teams/Notion/Discord) those windows will not be moved by DisplayFusion at all.
If you could point to what I am doing dumbly, I would appreciate it.
Could you send me over a screenshot of the Edit window on your profile?

Yeah you'll need to enter something in that field if you have it enabled, leaving it empty won't match to a window.
Some apps use a constant name in their Window Text field. For example, the chat tab in Teams uses "Chat | Microsoft Teams", the Teams tab uses "Microsoft Teams", the calendar tab uses "Calendar | Microsoft Teams", so setting the Window Text in your profile to "Teams" would match all three.

Well that's disappointing. I have used this for YEARS in this manner. I don't know why it's suddenly exhibiting a different behaviour on my new Windows 11 box.
Thanks for the clarification and your time. I'll see if I can't find a way to get a constant window text for my browsers.
