Forums -> UltraMon™ -> Icons not spread across taskbar properly

I've got 3 monitors. My primary is the middle. When I drag apps over to my left monitor, they also appear in the left monitors task bar.

However when I drag to my right monitor the task bar icons remain on the middle screens task bar.

See this screenshot for example: http://i.imgur.com/4XZRM.jpg (it's big, almost 3x 1920x1080)

Is there a configuration option I've missed? Or is this a bug?

Not sure what would cause this, the system information looks okay and I'm not aware of any issues like this with 3.2.1.

Please test the following and let me know what happens:

restart the system, then open Notepad (Start Menu > Programs > Accessories) and drag it to each of the 3 monitors. Does the task button follow the application, or does it remain on the middle monitor if you move it to the right monitor?

OK. Yes. After a restart it works fine.

It appears to happen only after switching AMD eyefinity on and then off again. I switch back and forth when I play games.

Good to know I can just restart after as a work around.

Looks like something goes wrong when the display configuration changes, if you're interested in troubleshooting this further I could create a test version of UltraMonTaskbar.exe which outputs diagnostic information in order to determine what's going wrong.

Unfortunately I can't test with Eyefinity myself, and switching between single- and 3-monitor configurations didn't cause the issue on my test system.
