Some other info - 

• Windows 11 Home
• Have tried different resolutions to no success

This bug happens from ALL Fences with TABS. You just cannot drag drop shortcuts from TAB to TAB without problems.

I'm curious if Stardock has tested it's software with many tabs on screen?

1. Here is the Windows version:

 Windows 11 Home OS Build Vers 24H2 - 26100.4061

2. Fences version Number:

3. Here you can see how many tabs I'm using.

There are multiple fences with relative genre tabs.

This is a High end Gaming laptop GE76 Raider Deluxe Edition.

Reinstalling won't really help as I've only just purchased this from you last week.

Nothing else is installed which would conflict with it.

Thankyou

I only purchased this app so i could use it's TABS functionality within Fences (Because Fences 2 does pretty much everything else Fences 6 does). I will create you a video recording with explanation of all the problems I have encountered with Fences 6 so far, be right back.

Thank you for the video, I see you are using Windows solid color as a background, yes? Just as a test, try using picture wallpaper as a background and see if the issue appear while using it.

Thank you,

Before I do that - I wanted to make some more tests to see if it's always just the TABS and have found a discovery for you!

I created 2 new fences, dropped 1 onto the other, added a load of shortcuts to both, and scrolled mouse over these icons. They were behaving as expected and therefore this issue is exclusively relative to having lots of TABS!

I will see how many i can make before the problem starts...

2 TABS - All is normal

3 TABS - Still fine

4 TABS - Problems started again...

- Sometimes simply dragging a selection box will drag a shortcut again from a totally different TAB into that TAB

- Dragging the top left 1st Shortcut will nearly always drag a shortcut from a different TAB into this TAB

- Dragging selections becomes Delayed and choppy / unresponsive

- Mousing over Icons, only highlights SOME of them in that TAB, but not all.

TABS are Definitely in a Broken state.

More problems...

After spending ages re-organising all my files into folders again, I went through removing each fence, only to find a fence stuck at the top of the screen which could be resized, but not moved

After Fresh Re-installation - as expected all problems are exactly the same.

Thanks, yes I found that Setting and the Icon colour change is just a check box, nothing to do with the TAB bugs.

So I've gone through and now tested in every resolution up to 4k

Always the same problems. Wasted hours on this, but it's 100% re-creatable every time, despite re-installs, purges, checking all drivers are recent. 

Here is a video to show how dragging random selection boxes inside a TAB will Drag Icons from other TABS into it and again how some icons highlight with mouse over, and others don't.

Please get back to me ASAP - and if you cannot fix these persistent issues, then I would like a full refund as the application does not work how it should please.

Some extra issues with current version:

When Dragging icons from Portals to TABS, they sometimes fall out and land on the desktop. You can drag them from desktop to TAB after, but not directly from Portals to TABS.

(I'm still suspicious if your application is considering such resolutions with combinations of things like Windows Icon sizes for example? When you hold Ctrl and middle mouse roll, you manually change the size of icons. Would that have anything to do with all these problems?)

I've tried to give you as many possibilities when trouble shooting as possible

Kind Regards.

Hello,

Thanks for update.

I won't personally be able to test for some time now, as I'm making software myself and fully booked, but if you make progress in solving the following, please let me know and I'll get around to testing it later next week when I'm free again:

BUG CHECK LIST:

• SOME Icons in TABS don't highlight with "Mouse-over"
• Icons switching TABS when dragging selection boxes inside of TABS
• Selection Boxes lagging when Tabs have over 20 icons each
• Dragging from PORTAL to TAB BODY (If dragging to the body section shouldn't be allowed, then it should be made clear, however dragging to the Heading of a TAB is a bit tricky when you have more than 5 Tabs in the same Fence)
• Dragging Icons/Shortcuts from TABS to TABS pulls incorrect Icons from different TABS into current TAB

thankyou

Hi dudechester just checking in to see if you've gotten to take a look. We just released v6.01 beta which includes this, and the link with the patcher above is more or less identical. We think we've solved at least a couple of the issues you've mentioned.
