[FZ Editor] Space (Margins) Tied to Display and Not Editable

[jbienzms]

Environment

Windows build number: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18362.535]
PowerToys version: 0.14.1.0
PowerToy module for which you are reporting the bug (if applicable): FancyZones

Description

When creating a new Zone in FancyZones, the editor initially seems to suggest that Space (margins) are part of the zone itself.

However, once the Zone is created there is no place to edit the Space settings again.

More importantly, these settings are stored in the registry in a way that is tied to both the Display and one single Virtual Desktop.

The moment the same Zone is used on another Display or another Virtual Desktop, the Space settings are lost.

Please consider fixing this as part of the move to .json (Issue #368).

Here are other issues that are likely related to this one:

• [bug] FancyZones>"space around zones" regularly reverts back from 0 to 16 #807
• [Bug] fancyzones: space around zones reenables itself after editing layout #752
• Store Zones in a JSon file #368

this should be addressed with Editor v2 #1032. Great feedback.
