Windows not sticking to regions

[gingerrunner]

When snapping/maximizing some application windows in a region, the window fills the region in one monitor, but then bleeds over in to the adjacent monitor. In my case the adjacent monitors have different scaling too so part of the window is at one resolution/scaling and the other part at the other resolution/scaling.

To Reproduce
With Mindjet Mindmanager, Lotus Notes, OneNote and other applications, use the Windows+Arrow shortcut to move the window around the regions. When moving in some directions it is fine for some apps, but when moving in other directions the odd bleeding over behaviour occurs. With OneNote, it also (in some directions) fails to fill the region.

If I add a small additional thin as possible region between adjacent monitor it works better. It's almost like the region is defined across the monitors rather than delineated at the monitor edge.

Expected behaviour
I expect the same behaviour as with Chrome, Spotify etc, where the window simply scales to the region as I move them around the desktop.

Screenshots
Let me know if you need them.

System information:
Windows 10
MaxTo 2.0.1

Just removed scaling from my monitors and the problem goes away, but now I can't read the text !!

Hope this helps.

Just to check, does this problem still occur after a reboot of the machine? Is it just when windows are placed in a region next to the monitor with the higher DPI?

[gingerrunner]

This has been happening for months, I have only just got around to reporting it. I have rebooted many times in that time.

Not sure monitor DPI has anything to do with it - more the scaling that is turned on due to the higher DPI. A subtle difference.

I have three screens - two high DPI that are both set to 125% - one at lower DPI and set to 100% scaling.

The issue happens between the two 125% screens as well as between the 100 and 125. When all set to 100% the problem goes away.

@gingerrunner Can you contact me at the support address so I can try sending you a private preview, to see if that solves the problem?

[gingerrunner]

would love to, what is the support address?

I have this problem too with windows 10, it's been like that for a while but haven't gotten around to reporting it. It mostly seems to affect the rightmost monitor and does not affect all programs. Slack works okay but some older apps like PuTTY do not. Putty works fine in most areas of the screen but not in that far right monitor that is in portrait mode. Maybe it's a bit different since the scaling (200%) is the same as a monitor that is not showing the problem.

Is there any update on this issue?, My is similar to @jdunham22 and @gingerrunner

[vegardlarsen]

@ragafoo Unfortunately no. It is related to 2 things as far as I can tell:

1. Windows in Windows 10 have an invisible border around them that MaxTo compensates for. This can sometimes cause a window placed on a monitor edge to technically be outside of that monitor.
2. If you have different DPI scaling settings on another monitor that touches that edge, Windows can sometimes decide that the window should be DPI-scaled to that monitor's scaling level.
