Objectbar dual monitor autohide bug (when 2 monitors are on top of each other)

from Stardock Forums

I have been testing out the trial version of Objectbar and found a bug which is quite annoying. I have 2 monitors. 1 monitor is located above the other one. I have object bar at the top of the bottom monitor and have it set to autohide. When it autohides it ends up on the bottom of the top monitor and covers up the ultramon virtual taskbar. It's like it goes straight up. From the top of one monitor to the bottom of the other.

I really like your product and would like to use it but this bug is a show stopper for me.

Thanks

its does this when docked to the right/left and the second monitor is there as well.  not sure if it is a "bug" though.  it may have just been designed this way originally.  im sure they will everntually change it or it may even be fixed in the full version.  i ended up just docking the bar somewhere else.  problem solved.

Well when something autohides that means autohide / disapear. Slide up and disapear is one thing, but slide up and appear on monitor 2 is a bug.

It's likely this implementation of autohide just sets the location to x,y coordinates just off screen and the program is not multi-monitor aware. It's a few months short of 2 years since it's had any updates. I believe Objectbar is on Brad's hit list of programs to be sunsetted so it's not likely to get fixed.

This is the case.  There are no plans to update this any time soon.

This is exactly the case.
