Random moves

Java apps

from Stardock Forums

I am using Groupy 1.20, on Windows 10 1809.  I have 4 monitors, using Windows to manage them (no special monitor/desktop/spaces tools)

I use Groupy primarily to group my browsers (tabception!? :D) and Minecraft (the Minecraft Launcher and 1-4 Minecraft clients) 

The issue I am having is that the Minecraft grouped windows will randomly move from the location I place them on one monitor to a different location on another monitor.  The launcher is a Windows native program (.exe), whilst the game client is a Java app.  This happens with just the clients; 1 client and launcher; and the launcher alone *AFTER* I have closed the grouped clients.  The launcher does *not* move if I open it and do *not* group it.  

I do ***NOT*** have the same issue with the browsers (Firefox and Chrome, somtimes SeaMonkey as well) 

I feel like this is an issue caused by grouping Java apps.  

Additionally, I do not recall this happening with Groupy 1.19, though it is possible I had not yet become annoyed with it enough to take notice.

Nothing so far. But we do have new version out V1.21. You could try it out and see if it was resolved your problem.

Thank you,

Well, I am using 1.21 
And honestly, this is beginning to be a completely broken product for me.

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having trouble.

The issue I am having is that the Minecraft grouped windows will randomly move from the location I place them on one monitor to a different location on another monitor.

Can you post a video of the issue?

Also, if each client is on a single monitor before grouping, then grouped there on that monitor, does it still happen -- or no -- it does not if they are initially placed on one monitor, then grouped, they stay there.?
