 hello
using amm, and have setup of two displays
in amm windows settings -> default settgins -> startup --> at window startup
i have checked options 'Move to monitor' and 'Having mouse pointer',
when i run chrome cases:
1. have none run on main screen and none on 2nd screen and try to run on main screen with pointer there
2. have few chrome windows run on 2nd screen but none on main screen and try to run on main screen with pointer there

chrome window opens but it doesnt show in taskbar even after i minimize it, only if i move it to 2nd screen and then back, so happened to me many times that i have running chrome windows in background im not even aware of.

screenshot attached

sorry if double posted couldnt find solution, thank you

 Hello, Dani

Thank you for contacting us.

The problem has been confirmed. We'll try to fix it and will post here when it's fixed.

For now, as workaround, you can enable the "Compatibility mode" option for "Block premature appearance of window" in specific settings for Chrome (AMM configuration window > Window Settings > Specific Settings > specific settings for Google Chrome > Startup > Block premature appearance of window). Or you can disable the "Block premature appearance of window" option completely. Or you can use Actual Multiple Monitors taskbar instead of the system taskbar (AMM configuration window > Multiple Monitors > Taskbar > Replace the system taskbar).

Also, the taskbar button should appear once you maximize the window on the main monitor. Could you please try and confirm this?


Best regards.
