0.67.0

Installation method

Area(s) with issue?

FancyZones

Steps to reproduce

Running multiple monitors. It seems any movement that attempts to move out of the current monitor (including wrapping around the current monitor) will crash the FancyZones process completely.

Settings: override windows snap set on move relative position move between zones across all monitors checked.

Monitors are custom layouts.

✔️ Expected Behavior

once the last position is reached in a given monitor it should go to the next monitor or wrap around on the existing monitor.

❌ Actual Behavior

process crash, stops using fancy zones to move window.

This looks to be the same issue that I am having. Crashes upon snapping a window from one monitor to another monitor. FancyZones is completely unresponsive including the editor until I disabled and enabled FancyZones again.

Initially I thought Windows 11 broke this until I completely disabled snap windows in Windows settings. I tried editing the zones, which did nothing. Finally I tried disabling and enabling FancyZones again (including the editor) and it started working until the next cross monitor snap.

This is happening to me either, but i realized it happens just with "Relative position" enabled on "Override Windows Snap" section instead of "Zone Index".

When i enabled zone index, it works normally.

I'm using Windows 11.

Or at least how do we roll back to the previous version that didn't have this bug?

Was able to change to "Zone Index" setting per @victorss recommendation and now FancyZones does not crash.

That's a good workaround, thanks. Sadly it's not very good for vertical monitors (portrait mode) with vertically stacked zones. It would be nice to be able to roll back to the last working version if possible.

Thanks for fixing this. I could not figure out why it was failing constantly.
