FancyZones Editor displays incorrectly in multi monitors scenario when monitors are not in order

"0.35.0"

Running as admin

Yes

Area(s) with issue?

FancyZones Editor

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

Go into display settings
Rearrange display so monitor number 2 is on the left of monitor number 1
Start PowerToys
Open FancyZones Editor
The editor is shifted unextectedly to the left and editing operations have a mismatch between the mouse and the display

✔️ Expected Behavior

The mouse and display match

You can fix the error by swapping the monitors in Windows settings / display settings by swapping the monitors so they start with 1 on the left

❌ Actual Behavior

The display is shunted to the left
When creating or editing a custom layout, the mouse and the on screen visuals do not align

With the setting "Allow zones to span across all monitors" I am seeing some undesired layout issues.

I was able to do some digging and the issue is around the fact that if monitor 1 is on the right, the overlay of the FancyZones Editor is incorrectly placed on the screen.

The result on screen looks like this - notice the overlay does not cover some apps on the right hand side of the dual monitor system:

Simply reversing monitor 1&2 in settings makes this correct:

In the example below, my mouse was just below cancel, but the grid bar is significantly further to the left (1/4 of 1 monitor width to the left).

Both monitors have the same DPI and scaling settings:

Upon further investigation, it is not about the monitor ordering, but if the primary monitor is further right than other monitors. I can repro the issue by having the monitors as number 1 & 2 in that order, but make the right monitor the primary monitor and the same issue happens.

I can also work around the issue of the grid bar in the wrong place by changing my scaling factor to 100%. This suggests that the scaling factor is part of the problem for the grid bar.

Thanks for reporting! Can you please verify if this issue is still present in the latest version of the PowerToys?

Actually, there are two different issues described here.
Rearrange displays issue is related to #8104.
The second issue is improper layout displaying with a 125% scaling on both monitors.
