Tabs Outliner doesn't open in same position on Windows 10

5 years ago • updated 5 years ago • 2

I recently upgraded to Windows 10, and I have found that the Tabs Outliner doesn't quite reopen in the same size or position when I close it, even with the option selected to save its position enabled. I'm not sure if this is a fluke of Windows 10, but I like to have the Outliner on the left side of the screen flush with the left edge and the taskbar. However, when I restart Chrome and reopen Tabs Outliner, it is bumped away from the edge of the screen by a little bit, leaving a gap. I'm a little OCD, so I find this a little annoying. It has a gap of about 5-10 pixels from the left edge of the screen.

I was wondering if anyone else runs into this issue, or if it's just me.

This is caused by windows 10. It happens with pretty much any window you dock a screen edge. Windows 10 has an invisible border that replaces the old window border (like from windows 7, etc.). I recall there being a registry tweak to fix it, but when I tried it, the grip area to resize a window became 1 pixel wide and impossible to grab.

Here is a fairly well laid out description of the problem:

And some people trying to make somewhat of a fix:

Thank you very much for your reply. I kind of figured as much that Windows 10 would be at fault, but I wasn't sure. I have been unimpressed with a number of Microsoft's decisions with Windows 10, and I guess I have found another one.

I will check out the Autohotkey workarounds and see how well they work, since I use Autohotkey pretty regularly anyways.
