Bug of program Fences(unexpected behavior)

from Stardock Forums

I found bug of program Fences(Steam version).
How to get it
1) Grab random file that ungrouped
2) While grabbing go to some full-windowed program(for ex browser)
3) And return to the Desktop while grabing(do NOT release grab)
4) and release grab on desktop
And you got that you will see only that file.

After a little time i found that this file moved to next new desktop
Fences-scroll(Rmouse+Lmouse + move to left), but i dont think so that
supposed to be. It should stay on the same screen as before...(some
users can thought that file(files) was lost(as I thought)).

Windows 10 last update. Single screen. Installed programm Walpapper Engine(but i think that doesnt matter)

I did it and it still worked.

I figured out why this "bug" is working. When you moving file to the desktop from full windowed programm, you need to move mouse to the right down place of the screen to minimize full windowed program(and other opened) for show desktop. But because of that minimize zone on the right down place the trigger of Fences(change screen) triggering with minimizing too, but it shouldn't.

The GREEN line is zone of triggering of Fences to scroll to right screen. But it crossing RED zone. And when user moving file at that zone triggering Window's function minimize all windows and Fence's function to scroll right. Better would be if Fence's trigger zone will not cross Window's trigger minimize.

Hello,

I have looked at your video and I notice that while you drag your icon around and try to click the hide desktop botton (bottom right) you did wiggle a bit causing that icon you are dragging around to move over to the right side which make fence think you want to move that icon to the next desktop page, fences automatically will create a new desktop page. Infact in your video, you have moved over twice. That why Fences create two desktop pages for you. Notice those "3 round dots" appear at the bottom of that video. So when you actually click the hide desktop button you was actually at the 3rd desktop page. So it is not a bug. It is just how Fences work.

You can always turn off "Desktop Pages" you do not want that to happen.

Thank you,
