Folder Content Appears Empty After Showing Fences and Choosing A Folder in a Folder Portal

from Stardock Forums

When using the hotkeys to show Fences, clicking a folder within a folder portal results in the folder appearing empty. To display the folder content correctly, I must press the hotkeys to hide the folder, then press the hotkeys again to show it.

I tried to click the "Show Fences" icon I added to my taskbar, and got the same result. So the issue lies in the "Show Fences" function.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Need to know more on your issue.

  1. Windows full version and OS build number. Please use Winver.exe
  2. Fences full version number.
  3. Monitor/s resolution, scaling factors and any other relevant information.
  4. Short video showing us the issue would help us understand this one better.

Thank you.

Just as a test, if you turn down the scale to 100%, do you see the same issue? Also, as a test try disable HDR and see if it also help. Try those and report back. You can change back to 150% scale and turn on HDR again after the test is done.

Thank you,

I have tested changing these settings, but the issue is still there. I just switched to a 32:9 ultrawide monitor. I did not have such issues before, so I think this has something to do with the display on an ultrawide monitor.

Thank you for the video, that make it much much clear on the issue. Just for the second issue. I think that one is known issue for HDR enabled system. Please refer here: https://support.stardock.com/space/SHC/1770422308/Known+HDR+Issues+with+Fences+Portals.

For your main issue, I will try to reproduce the issue.

Thank you,

Hello,

I tried something on my system and now it seem the issue no longer appear. Would like to suggest for you to try purge and reinstall steps as mention here : [Link]. Just make sure to redownload the latest version from your account page. Reboot after the purge. Reinstall and reboot again after the installation. Retest and report back here.

Thank you,
