Fences swaps icons between two monitors

from Stardock Forums

I'm running Fences on Win 10 on a two-monitor setup (1920x1080 & 1280x1024).  Occasionally after awaking Windows, I find the Fences and the desktop icons have switched from one monitor to the other.  Why does it do this and can it be prevented?

Here it is 5 years later and this issue is still not fixed!! Just had it happen again!

REALLY LOL

It's January 30, 2024 and Fences 4 still has this issue.

Mediocrity at it's best!

 

At this point I want a refund. I don't mind paying once it is fixed but not until then.

I have a 3 monitor setup and usually only use 2 - the third is a 50" TV. A couple of days ago my fences disappeared. As I've been reading, this is nothing new; I guess I've been lucky since it hasn't happened in the last 5+ years I've been using Fences. Moved everything back multiple times and also reset the registry several times. Even when set to monitor 2 everything moved to monitor 3. Is anything being done to fix this glitch? Is there any information I can provide to help diagnose the problem?
