Start8 menu fails to stay open on 2nd monitor

from Stardock Forums

The Start8 menu on the second monitor opens and then immediately closes again but only when there is another window open on the second monitor's desktop. The behaviour is worst if an Office 2013 document is assigned to the 2nd monitor. In fact the Office document does not have to be visible, it can be minimised on the taskbar and still the Start8 menu will not remain open. The taskbar on the 2nd monitor is provided by DisplayFusion.

Oddly, this behaviour is seen when the mouse is used to open the menu but not when the keyboard (Windows Key) is pressed.

A solution for this would be appreciated.

What happens if you disable DisplayFusion and instead use the OS provided second monitor taskbar?

That did work, Start8 now behaves correctly on the 2nd monitor, which is a relief.

However I'd really prefer Start8 to work with DisplayFusion because I use DisplayFusion to get other behaviours and settings, e.g. to limit taskbar icons to display only if the window is on its respective monitor (which doesn't work on 8.1 even though taskbar properties suggest is should) and different wall paper on each monitor.

Please would you fix it so that Start8 works with DisplayFusion?

Thanks.
