I experience the same issue in both of my screens/displays (I have two monitors).

It's a top priority issue for me, since I use PowerToys run very often (tens of times an hour). I'll try to downgrade my PowerToys version to solve this.

See my log file for only this issue:

🗒️ Maybe it has something to do with screens or so, so I'll note the followings:

• I have two monitors:
  • primary monitor: resolution 3840x2160, 200% windows scaling
  • secondary monitor: resolution 1920x180, 100% windows scaling

Edit: After downgrading to v0.81.1, the issue disappeared, so I guess the problem is introduced in v0.82.0

Same Issue - also running multiple monitors

same issue, but - have one monitor

Two 2.5k monitors, same issue. Log file:

I tried disabling all plugins except the 'Program' plugin as that is the only one I really use. This made no difference, however.
