Windows Terminal (and other apps) can't be shift-dragged to a zone #209
Comments
confirmed, looks like the terminal is hacking into the explorer. |
Great bug! I verified it too. We'll investigate |
Just to add another application with the same problem: Telegram Desktop can't be shift-dragged too. Both are Windows Store apps but other apps like Spotify and WhatsApp Web work properly. |
This also happens when using maxto, a paid alternative. I guess the underlying API is the same |
Does this possibly affect all Win store apps on the UWP platform? |
It's also the case with ConEmu and if you have If so, the zones are not shown if you drag the ConEmu window and press shift. @mineral4x: It works with the weather app and windows 10 calculator. |
The Epic Games store and Origin have this issue as well |
It seems like there's something about Qt that makes windows unable to be snapped in place. Telegram is made with Qt, Origin is made with Qt (I believe) and a Discord client I use, Ripcord, is made with Qt and is undraggable as well. |
This has been reported over in the Windows Terminal project: microsoft/terminal#2689 |
Edge in Application Guard can not be dragged to FanzyZones zone. |
I can't get Chrome (76.0.3809.132) to snap either. Firefox 69 does. Edge does. |
We have found the root cause and we are working on a fix, stay tuned ;) |
Hi. Terminal dev lead here. We're definitely not "hacking into the explorer", we're just using traditional non-client painting techniques. That's.. a very strange accusation. |
Hi @DHowett-MSFT |
The fix is in master, if you don't want to wait for the next release, you can build it and give it a try! |
Hi @allansramblings |
Yes that one. |
Python IDLE windows are now not snapping into a frame fore me. They worked fine until recently. |
@jccraig, you are on 0.15? |
Super obscure example to throw on the pile... CVI LabWindows by National Instruments. Its main window and all it's little undocked windows, none of them respond. Now strangely, FancyZones did work with this application in an earlier release. Sorry I don't remember which one. But in the last 2 or 3 releases on, FancyZones doesn't recognize the app. |
Hi @ElectroLund |
Gotcha, @enricogior. Any chance we can get our specific app added to the "whitelist"? |
We have two approaches to this:
|
Awesome! The 1st option is a pain to you devs and presents an "playing catch-up" forever. It's also difficult with my app, because it's a paid suite, so a hassle for you. I vote for #2, as it puts the responsibility on the user. |
Furthermore Telegram breaks it for ALL other apps on my system. Telegram has to be stopped, PowerToys has to be stopped and restarted for it to work again. |
Hi @ziplock9000
|
v0.17.0 and it happens 100% of the time.
Steps 1 and 2 can be swapped, it makes no difference. |
@ziplock9000 |
That's fixed it, thanks!. |
Just adding another app that doesn't snap into zones, "S3 Browser" using powertoy ver v0.18.2 |
Also Teamspeak 3 cant dragged to zones. Zones do not appear. |
@codingbott this is a closed issue, please add your comment to #1466 |
Same issue with OBS Studio (using version 23.1.0 64 bit) Edit. I will move my comment to #1466 |
https://parsecgaming.com/ stopped snapping after the last power tools update for me, latest versions (150-46) |
This is still an issue with PT v0.45 and Windows Terminal Version: 1.8.1521.0. As this seems to be the main issue that all others refer to, maybe re-open it until it's actually fixed? |
I'm still having this issue with the Origin Launcher on the latest PowerToys update as well. |
If your Windows terminal uses administrator mode, then powertoy also needs to use administrator mode in order to control |
Trying out FancyZones, I discovered that the new Windows Terminal can't be shift-dragged into a zone. All the other apps I'm using seem to work, but holding down shift while dragging the terminal window just moves the window as normal and won't snap to a zone. Win+arrow doesn't seem to work specially for it either.
