when using an external monitor to extend desktop, sorting icons does not work right, they stack on top of each other. [bug?]

When I have an external monitor connected to my laptop, if I use the sort functionality, for example, sort by modified, all the icons stack on top of each other.

Here is an example:

Win10 Version 1803 (OS Build 17134.407)

Fences 3.0.9.11

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having issues. Need more information.

1) Laptop screen resolution and scaling applied.

2) External monitor resolution and scaling applied.

3) How your "Layout auto-adjustments" setting look like.

Thanks

Hi, here are the answers:

 

1) Laptop screen resolution and scaling applied.

1920x1080 - 100%

 

2) External monitor resolution and scaling applied.

1920x1080 - 100%

Note the external laptop is marked as my primary monitor (where the start bar is)

 

3) How your "Layout auto-adjustments" setting look like.
