Icons outside Fences re-arrange themselves after monitor wake from sleep

Icons outside Fences re-arrange themselves after monitor wake from sleep

I've been using Fences for many many years but I'm a bit frustrated by this issue.

I have dual monitors, which are slightly different sizes.  My main monitor is set to 150% scaling (it's a 4k monitor) while the other monitor is set to 100% (it is a 1080p monitor) I don't know for sure if this contributes to the issue, but I'm mentioning it in case it does.

I have several fences that I have setup on my main monitor.  Then I have a handful of icons that I like to keep on my desktop NOT inside a fence (some files, recycle bin icon, etc).  When my monitor wakes from sleep mode, all these icons that are NOT inside a fence end up moving down to the lower right of my main monitor, which frustratingly is right where I keep one of my main Fences.  SO I have to move the fence and re-arrange my icons.

I have recently tested turning Fences OFF, and re-arranging my icons around the desktop.  None of them move after waking my monitor from sleep.  So this has to be related to Fences in some way.  

I should mention that I already have Auto-Arrange icons turned OFF and I have sorting turned OFF.

Any help here?

I can not reproduce the issue on my part since I don't have "Gigabyte Monitor" to test it out. However, I have forwarded your problem/question to Stardock Support Team for their assistance. Please keep an eye on this thread for any updates. We appreciate your feedback and patience.

Thanks you.
