If Groupy 2 is active and ActualTools Window Manager has enabled any titlebar buttons, (most) application windows cannot be restored after maximizing, but will stay maximized.

Exact Windows version: Windows 10 22H2 19045.3208 x64

Detailed steps to recreate the issue seen:
- ActualTools Window Manager should display at least one additional titlebar button (it does by default)
- Groupy 2: my configuration is to show always the Groupy bar, on top of the window
- Start Windows calculater
- Click the maximize titlebar button
- The window will be maximized
- Click the button again to restore the old window size
- The window will stay maximized

In general it seems to work with windows, where tabs are always shown: It’s working as expected in Explorer, while TaskManager is also affected by the problem

Specific apps that the app does not work (well) with:
ActualTools Window Manager 8.15 http://www.actualtools.com/windowmanager

It would be nice, if I could have the best of two worlds

Windows 10 [10.0.19045.3208]

Tabs set to always visible...

Windows 11 Version 2382 (0S Build 22631.2129)

the problem is overlapping and hepped with PDF-XChange Editor app.

Is there any chance, you provide a direct download link to the beta executable? 
As there were some changes to the behavior of windows, I'd like to test, if my problem with ActualTools Window Manager is solved

If you purchase, Mike, and it does not meet your needs, it can be refunded in the 30 day window.

As for your issue, this MAY address it but we cannot promise anything for 3rd party app conflicts:

• Resolved issue with window positioning, when opened, maximized on some applications

Do let us know when you do.

• Windows Version 22H2 22621.2134

• Groupy Version 2.11

• I have noticed windows are shrinking in size by themselves.  Only when the window is maximized, the size of the windows periodically shrinks by itself as your cursor moves off the window to the groupy tab area and back onto the app. It only seems to do it on the right side and the bottom, leaving the top and left size docked to the sides of the screen. 

Affected: all programs.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Please try this, uninstall Groupy, reboot immediately after (important), redownload the latest version, install that version, reboot again after installation done. Retest and report back.

Thanks

I followed the instructions and tried installing again, but it didn't make any difference.

Excellent and thank you.
