BUG - Dragging Window from One Maximized Group to Another Maximized Group on Dual Screens Causes Window to Move to Other Screen

from Stardock Forums

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create one maximized Group on Screen 1.

2. Create another maximized Group on Screen 2.

3. Drag one of the tabs from one Group to another. After the tab is added to the second group, the second Group will move to the screen that the original Group was on.

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having issues. This is known issue, but its not happening all the time for me. Can you reproduce it all the time? Or with only specific applications?

Thanks

Hi Basj,

I'll record a video tomorrow when I'm back in front of my dual screen setup!

Hi Basj,

Here's the video:

You can see that when I drag tabs from one window to another it usually works, but sometimes it snaps to the other window. The video also shows the following behavior:

1. After moving a Group or Tab from one window to another, changing tabs can snap the Group back to the other monitor.

2. Attempting to snap a Group to the top of one of the screens resulted in it being snapped to the other screen.

This suggests that Groupy isn't properly tracking which monitor each program should be on. Instead of updating those values when switching monitors, sometimes it uses the value of where the program used to be.
