I was wondering if anyone knew why some of my windows get shuffled around every time my computer wakes up from a sleeping state.

 

I have three screens, 1x1440p and 2x1080p, and I have an R9 290. The first one is set as my main display, but I've noticed that every time my computer goes to sleep for  long periods of time, everything that was full screen on the middle screen gets shifted over to the bottom right corner of the far right screen, and it is still in its "Full Screen" mode, like chrome will have a very thin window, making it hard to drag around, instead of a small border when it is regularly in windowed mode. You can see that the Microsoft word box used to be full screen on the middle monitor, but is now partially off screen. Following that, everything on the far right screen will jump over to the middle screen, even if it wasn't full screened. Asus GPU Tweak used to be on the far right screen before it went to sleep.

 

I've noticed that if my computer screens time out and turn black and I immediately wake it back up, this issue doesn't appear. It only happens if it has been in its powered off state for a longer period of time, like maybe 5-10 minutes. The same thing happens if I set my computer to sleep.

 

I also have display fusion running, and so I don't know if that may be contributing to this also.

 

I had to shrink the image because it was too large to upload, but hopefully you can still see what I mean.
