How do I fix FancyZones' mess with dropdowns?

[iamshilov]

Microsoft PowerToys version

0.74.1

Installation method

PowerToys auto-update

Running as admin

Yes

Area(s) with issue?

FancyZones

Steps to reproduce

It's not the problem with FancyZones, but the problem FancyZones has created.
After recent update dropdowns in various applications (Edge, Adobe Apps) are now stuck to the upper left corner. Annoying af. How do I restore it to normal behavior? It drives me nuts.

✔️ Expected Behavior

Dropdowns appear where they supposed to appear

❌ Actual Behavior

Dropdowns appear at the upper left corner of the screen.

Other Software

Looks like a similar issue to #28914

I was able to replicate the issue by opening the "Running as admin" menu in Edge. Other menus open normally, and the same "Running as admin" menu in other browsers (such as Chrome) also works fine.
No need for the bug report, as it's reproducible.

To help us verify the fix for as many scenarios as possible, please let us know which other applications are affected.

As a workaround, you can disable the Allow popup windows snapping or Move newly created windows to their last known zone option. The combination of these two options seems to be causing the issue.

It was quite a specific one. Transcribe options window in Adobe Premiere experienced the most unusable behavior because it didn't show a dropdown at all when clicked. That's when I came here to report an issue. As of now the problem is gone after your suggestions.

Thank you for pointing out the problematic apps.

Hi @iamshilov, could you please verify if the issue is reproducible on PowerToys 0.76?
