[SOLVED] When contents are not displayed when applications are spread across two screens

[modeonoff]

Hi, I have a monitor stacked on top of the other vertically. Under Windows 10's Display settings, I arranged the two monitor icons to match that of the physical setup. When I moved applications such as a browser across the two screens, those in between the two screens were not displayed. It was as if some contents disappeared in the gap between the two monitors. Is there a way to fix this problem?

There is no "gap".

Please show us the Display Settings screen where you configure this.

There you go

Just saying, there is no "gap".

On my system with 3 screens, as I move an icon across, it shows half and half on both screens. Until I let go, then it moves to one or the other.

I spread the browser across both screens and took a screenshot of your reply under Windows 10, I got this image. The black bar corresponds to the missing part at the boundary (bottom bezel of the top monitor and the top bezel of the bottom monitor) between the two monitors.

Trying it vertically on my screens, that bar on yours would appear to be the taskbar.

Interesting. Thanks for the inspiration. I right clicked the taskbar and turned off "Show taskbar on all displays" under "Multiple displays". The problem is fixed as shown in the screenshot (I had the top of the car very close to the top bezel of the bottom monitor). However, the taskbar in the upper monitor are not shown. I would prefer the upper monitor also shows the taskbar but of course without the missing part. How did you set up your taskbar?

My monitors are side by side, taskbar at the bottom on all 3.

If you have the taskbar visible on the top screen, you will have the issue you started with.

Tried to configure the two monitors side by side with taskbar on. Very unnatural for mouse pointer movement as physically the monitors are arranged vertically.

So this is a trade off I have to decide? Either contents between the two screens invisible or having a taskbar on both monitors.

Yep, can't have it both ways.
