Update on maximized window having dead zone where you instead interact with the window behind it
-
I’ve been dealing with this issue for a few months now (on v8.6.2), and found this old thread where people mentioned the same thing.
Here’s the original repro steps, which I will add to:
This bug requires Dual Monitor setup Notepad is maximized on the SECONDARY display. --It works fine on the primary display When viewing Notepad++ on the second display you’ll notice a 1 or 2 pixel top bar that’s missing (like notepad++ isn’t really using the full display.) Move the mouse to the tip top and click— the window behind is grabbed instead.Here’s the extra thing: I think this issue only started when I changed from a dual 1080p monitor setup to a setup with a 4k primary monitor and a 1080p secondary monitor. Maybe that’s the missing piece to reproduce this issue.

Known issue, Notepad++ is not a per-monitor DPI aware (V2) app yet. It is a GDI-app, so it needs additional coding to fix such issues.
