Status Window can't place on an secondary monitor !

[hansii99]

I have a mulit monitor configuration (2 displays a 2560x1440), the first display is extend to the second one.
When i want to place the the status window an the right monitor, the windows always flips back to the left one.
Attached is a screenshot of the config:

Thanks and excuse me for the issue!

Can you please confirm that the window flips back _immediately_ after you release the mouse button (after dragging to the 2nd monitor)?
Or just after a restart of the system (or Hard Disk Sentinel)?

I suspect the 2nd monitor is always connected and enabled, but can you please confirm that? (so it is not possible that only the primary monitor is available as then the software would automatically adjust the coordinates to put the window on the primary monitor).

Can you please confirm if you used the latest (4.00) version of Hard Disk Sentinel?

Yes, I can confirm:
- the second monitor is always online
- the window immediately switches back the left one, when I release the mouse button.
- i use Version 4.00

Only for info, I don't know if this is relevant:

As you can see in the screenshot ,in my configuration the two monitors are switched: the left monitor is number 2 , the right one is number 1.
The main Monitor is the left one (number 2).
So when i release the window to the right one (number 1), it immediately switches back to the left on (monitor 2).

Thanks,

Thanks for the information!
Yes, this may be interesting also, thanks for the clarification.
I'm checking and will immediately let you know if the issue is fixed or the situation improved.
Thanks for your attention and excuse me for the problem.

Hi,
another information, after some testing I found out another option in HDS configuration "Snap to screen edges":

The problem I described only happens when "Snap to screen edges" is enabled !

When "Snap to screen edges" is disabled, it works as excepted, and the status window can placed on every position on both windows.

Regards,

Thanks, I see!

To be honest, yesterday I forgot to mention this option, I already wanted to recommend to try disabling "Snap to screen edges" on Configuration -> Status Window as it may help.

Thanks and excuse me for the issue caused by that - this information may help other users experiencing the same issue.
