When a program is activated through Workspaces, it no longer works with FancyZones

Open shay-gg opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Microsoft PowerToys version

0.84.0

Installation method

Microsoft Store

Running as admin

No

Area(s) with issue?

FancyZones

Steps to reproduce

I ran Microsoft Word and Adobe Acrobat using a Workspace. When trying to move either of their windows holding shift to move it to FancyZone, the FancyZone overlay didn't show up, and I couldn't snap either of these windows to the zone. All other windows worked fine. Also, it was another Workspace which I ran: after starting the computer I ran one workspace, then the second workspace over it with Word and Acrobat in question.

✔️ Expected Behavior

Moving window (of the program started with Workspace) while holding shift displays FancyZone overlay and allows to snap a window to the Zone.

❌ Actual Behavior

Moving window (of the program started with Workspace) while holding shift didn't display FancyZone and essentially worked as regular moving window.

Other Software

Microsoft Word 365 Insider Preview, newest version, Adobe Acrobat from Adobe Creative Cloud, latest version
