Cannot select left icons in a Fence

from Stardock Forums

Windows 11 using Fences 5.89 (revision 3).  I had this issue on a another PC and found the solution here I think.  Now can't find it to fix on new PC.

When icons are in a fence and are set to small in View- I can't click and drag across the icons to choose them all.  It will NOT select the icons on the left.  Works fine if icons are medium - but I want small icons.

I know it can be fixed.  I'm looking at PC 1 and I have small icons and can select them all in a fence when I click/drag.   I cannot in PC 2.  I just can't find the solution I used to accomplish this.

Can someone tell me how to fix this?

Yes, this is the issue I'm having.  I know there was a solution since I implemented it on my other PC.  I just can't recall what it was.

You can try this, press "ctrl" on your keyboard and scroll your mouse wheel down one step, this should make your icons 1 size smaller. Something like my gif below.

I can confirm this does work.  I also can confirm that it holds after a restart.  It doesn't seem like a good, long term solution - but works for now.  Thanks!

Can you click and drag from the bottom right, however?
