Incorrect Mapping of Screen Space on Multi-monitor Setups

Open Phobic-HR opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

Description: Select Region and Select Window do not map to the correct screen space when used on some multi-monitor setups. This typically happens with larger monitors and when the largest monitor isn't in the top left.

Reproduce Steps: -Open Window's Settings app and go to System -Under Display arrange the windows so that the coordinate 0,0 would not be within the bounds of any window (see below) -Start Autosplit and select any of the three screen capture methods -Use the Select Region tool to select an area of any monitor

Expected behaviour: The screen space selected matches the screen space displaced and compared against.

Screenshots:

Work Around: Move the largest monitor to the top and left in Settings app>System>Display.

Extra Info: OS: Windows 10.0.19045 AutoSplit: v2.2.0

Curious, I myself use multi-monitor setups (and a very unusual one that) and implemented the support when I started maintaining this project. We get the coords from Window's virtual desktop, hopefully this isn't a weird Windows edge-case. I'll try to replicate if I can.

I tried going down the versions and this problem does not occur in version 1.5.1, anything above that produces the problem.

I don't have a solution yet. But I have replicated on my Windows 11 laptop. Order and position of displays matter. So I can start investigating.
