Whenever I drop Xyplorer into a defined Fancy Zones, it immediately crashes without giving error message. I'm on my 2nd day trial and liking Xyplorer a lot. But FancyZones is a must for me, please let me know if this bug can be fix or not. Thanks

Thanks for confirming. The issue seems to be related to multiple monitor set up. In my case, I have a three 2k monitors setup. There is no issue if I just move Xyyplorer from monitor A to B or C, without triggering F zones. But If I drop Xyplorer from one monitor to another's F zone directly, then it crashes immediately. No issue if I move Xyplorer from one monitor to another without triggering F Zones, then drop it into the F zones. This is happening on a brand new workstation laptop. Thanks

Yep, confirmed. It's on my list.

Actually it has already been reported a year ago: viewtopic.php?t=27968
It affects both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions.

...

Got it! Fixed in next beta. 8)
