Fences unexpectedly move to secondary monitor

http://acquaviva.us/Stardock.zip

Monitor Configuration:

2 Dell 3007WFP monitors
Scale: 125%
Resolution: 2560 x 1600

See Supporting Materials for full system configuration, screen shots, and registry exports for Fences.

Issue:

Fences are moved from the primary monitor to the secondary monitor after sleep/wake or computer restarts. Restoring a good snapshot will not correct.

Narrative:

  1. Fences on monitor 1 (primary, right side)
  2. Sleep/wake
  3. Fences moved to monitor 2 (secondary, left side)
  4. Attempt to restore snapshot (see image) that shows the correct arrangement. No affect.
  5. Settings > Display > Multiple displays > Show only on 1
  6. The fences moved to monitor 1
  7. Settings > Display > Multiple displays > Extend these displays
  8. The fences moved from monitor 1 (primary) to 2 (secondary)
  9. Settings > Display > Multiple displays > Show only on 1
  10. The fences moved to monitor 1
  11. Fences > Layout & snapping > Delete last automatic snapshot
  12. Fences > Layout & snapping > Reset saved settings for other screen resolutions (I'm not sure if these last two steps made "the" difference)
  13. Settings > Display > Multiple displays > Extend these displays
  14. The fences moved from monitor 1 (primary) to 2 (secondary)
  15. The fences remain on monitor 1 (primary)

Notes:

I have used Fences 3 for years without seeing this issue. This behavior seemed to coincide with switching the DVI cabling between monitor 1 and 2.
