Fences on Multiple Monitors

I have two monitors attached to my laptop and docking station.  Fences works fine when I'm only using one monitor or the laptop display itself. 

But when I use both monitors sometimes - not always - the fences end up on the wrong display.  Is there a way to force the fences to be on one monitor or the other?  If so, how?

 

 

Thanks,

I'm encountering the same issue with Win 7 Pro x64.  When using my external monitor all of the Fences jump to the ext mon.  I want them to stay on the primary monitor.  Is there a setting somewhere I need to change?

Does Fences Pro have such a control feature?

Thanks,

Greg

I've seen this happen for a few years now, old (but super annoying!!!) bug.

My setup:

Laptop user, dual monitors at work, dual monitors at home. I put my laptop to sleep when I leave work, dock it at home and start it back up.

Bug description:

At first everything worked fine, fences stayed on the primary monitor in both cases (primary being the one with the Start bar).  Periodically however (weeks, months), Fences loses track of which monitor is primary and puts all my fences on the opposite monitor.  Windows is keeping it straight (start bar is OK), but Fences  loses track.  It will stay like that until the bug happens again (more weeks or months) and it will switch back.

I experienced this on XP, now still seeing it on Win7.  I recently experienced this with Fences 1.01.143.
