Odd breadcrumb bar mouseover behavior on second monitor

So I just set up a second monitor for my PC and while using XYplorer on the second monitor, it recognizes the correct location of my cursor everywhere except for the breadcrumb bar (see photo attached).

This issue only occurs while using XYplorer on my second monitor (1080p, portrait) and not on my primary.
Monitor 1: 1440p, Landscape
Monitor 2: 1080p, Portrait (flipped)

Weird! I cannot see any difference in code between breadcrumb bar and other controls.
(Don't have 2 monitors ATM to test.)

I did a little more testing and this issue occurs on both of my monitors as long as both are turned on. Once I turn off my second monitor, the behavior works as intended on my main monitor. I think it might be some sort of scaling issue with Windows but I am not a developer and know very little about this stuff.
EDIT: added a video for a better look at the issue.

Opened up XYplorer this morning and the issue went away! No clue why but just crossing my fingers that it stays fixed.

Could it be you rebooted Windows in the meantime? Windows (choose any version) has some bugs related to multi-monitor setups. Some can be temporarily fixed by a reboot.

It's likely that I rebooted, but now the problem has returned, probably after another reboot. I think you're right about Windows and multi-monitor setups. Oh well.

I will look at it when I'm back to a 2-monitor setup (cannot give a date). It's weird that only the breadcrumb bar is affected...

I have the same issue with three monitors. A restart of XY fixes it. Seem to start when waking Windows 11 machine up from sleep.
Just added a button to solve my problem. xyplorer is
Code: Select all
5=""Save & Reset|text:R|0|0" exit "sr" "

Yep, Windows 11 still has problems with multi-monitors.
