FancyZones Editor: Error thrown on apply then close - no problem observed #8321
Comments

Thank you Enrico. I will try the unsigned build shortly and report back. |
@enricogior I have been using the unsigned build for the past 10-15 minutes. I have changed layouts approximately 20 times on each monitor and I have not been able to reproduce the issue. This appears to have resolved the issue.
Thank you again, I will report back if I encounter any errors, but this build looks to have resolved my initial issue. Feel free to close this at your convenience. |

The problem is fixed by #8122 |
@enricogior - I had not experienced any issues for the past two days. Today I just started seeing the same error again. This is on the same unsigned build from a couple of days ago. Same steps to reproduce as earlier. Same symptom (no obvious problem, the new layout is applied successfully). My computer has been on most of the day. I just switched layouts for the first time today and the error showed itself again after Win + ', Select Layout, Apply, Close. I have done a few more tests and the error has thrown every time I have changed a layout on either monitor. Attaching the crash log. |
does the problem still persist? |
@enricogior I think I figured out this issue. When I followed your steps, the issue continued to exist. I even tried your steps repeatedly, each time removing the newly created zones-settings.json file. So I looked into the crash file before uploading it again. I noticed something in the trace: I use a few utilities by Stardock as part of their Object Desktop package. "GlowWindowBehavior" stood out. One of of the products included in Object Desktop is WindowsFX which allows you to configure things like drop shadow and transparency on inactive windows, etc. I opened it up and started to do a little experimenting. Long story short, if I disable the feature in WindowsFX titled "Make windows under the active window darken to draw attention to the window with focus" the issue stops happening. If I re-enable the feature, the issue starts happening again. I uninstalled your build and installed 0.27.1. Same thing. Even without the unsigned build I can make the issue occur by enabling the feature. And make the issue go away by disabling that feature. 100% of the time. If it helps, here is the product page for WindowsFX: https://www.stardock.com/products/windowfx/ P.S. I have also replaced the zones-settings.json file with my original version that had all of my custom zone configurations. Even with my original file I was able to make the error stop by disabling the WindowsFX feature. Also, the same stack trace info refrencing "GlowWindowBehavior" is in the original error dump, so I did not upload another error dump file. |

This error is thrown whenever I take the following steps and apply a different, existing FZ layout. It does not happen when I create a new layout.
I have a 4k primary monitor with a 2560x1440 secondary monitor.
