      Re: [Notepad++ 7.9.5 When maximized and mouse is at top of the screen](the window behind is grabbed instead.)

      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.

        Here user reported a successful workaround:
