@enricogior I isolated the issue, maybe you can replicate it.

I never assumed it would be my USB connected external keyboard causing the issue. It is an Kinesis Advantage keyboard connected to a Surface Dock for complete clarity.

However, I have found if using the directly attached Surface Keyboard win+arrows the snapping to Zones works as expected.

@DavidGretzschel Thanks for the video, I can confirm that is what happens when using the Surface keyboard. Which is good obviously haha.

I’ll dig up a second USB keyboard and see if the other behavoir still happens or if it is unique to the Kinesis.

0.13 Also on a 4k monitor. I’m observing that sometimes the win+snap goes back to normal behaviour.

I actually wish that there was a way to use both normal behaviour and the grid, somehow. Quarting in Windows 10 is a genuinely useful tool, that I’d wish to make use out of both my grid and the default halving/quartering functionality.
