Rolled out fences not returning to proper position

from Stardock Forums

I have all my fences rolled up, but when I run a full screen game at a lower resolution it sometimes cause the my fences to not return to the correct position when I return to the desktop. This only seem to affect the fences at the bottom of the screen. Throwing together a quick mock-up in Paint to illustrate.

As you can see, the title is where it wold be if the fence was open, when the fence is closed. If I mouse over it it rolls down towards the bottom of the screen. For the record, I have multiple screens, but only one of them have fences on it. This sometimes also happens when I turn of the TV, which is connected to the computer via a Surround Receiver. The screens are as follows:

  • 4k Monitor
  • FHD Monitor
  • FHD TV via Surround receiver

Games that change the resolution can often have unexpected effects when you exit.  Try restoring a snapshot:

To restore Fences to a previous snapshot:

-RRight-click on the desktop and select "Configure Fences..."

-Click on "Layout and snapping" on the left hand side of the configuration window that appears.

-Select a snapshot you wish to revert to. A preview window will appear showing you what the desktop will look like. 

-Click Restore Snapshot to revert the desktop to this preview.

Sorry for the late reply, keep forgetting that I have to check the forum for replies. :P

Yes, I'm on 3.0.4.12.

Yes, that works but I'd rather not have to do that all the time. For the record, FHD monitors are at 100% scale and 4k monitor are on 150% as recommended by Windows if that makes a difference.
