Fancy Zones Resolution Change Taskbar overlap

[jsormaz]

Environment

Windows build number: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18363.900]
PowerToys version: v0.19.1
PowerToy module for which you are reporting the bug (if applicable): Fancy Zones

Steps to reproduce

My monitor supports "Picture by Picture" which allows me to quickly change from full screen to a split screen layout (so I can have my work computer on half of my screen for example. However, whenever I enable/disable PBP, the fancy zones layouts break and now overlap the windows task bar (which I have set on the right hand side of my screen.

1. Create zones layout
2. Change monitor resolution
3. Change monitor resolution back to original
   4, Original layout now overlap the taskbar

Expected behavior

Zones layout should not overlap taskbar after changing resolution

Actual behavior

Zone layout overlaps taskbar

Came here for exact same issue (also have monitor with PBP). I'll also add that this can be "fixed" by going into zones editor and hitting apply without doing any changes or restarting PowerToys alltogether.

Right now I've rolled back to v0.18.2 which is not affected by this issue.

Thanks for the tip! This is a decent workaround for now. Win+` brings up zones editor, hit apply.
I'll keep doing this until they fix it or I get annoyed enough to roll back to the previous release like you did.

BTW - completely unrelated, but it sounds like you have a similar setup to me. I highly recommend checking out the software called "Across Center". It lets you use your mouse/keyboard that is connected to 1 computer as a bluetooth m+k on another computer. seemless transition between the two just by dragging the mouse like you would with multiple monitors. This has made my WFH situation much more enjoyable.
