I have 3 monitors. Left, middle/main - a 4K monitor set to 200%dpi and another monitor to the right of it.

Our app is High DPI Aware via an embedded manifest.

Start your app on the main monitor. Looks fine. Undo a pane and try to move it to the left monitor. Whoa! the rectangle being dragged is nowhere near the cursor on the screen. Be careful, if you move the cursor down the screen, the drag rectangle goes off the virtual desktop. If you mouse up, you have now lost your pane. Alt-space-move doesn't help as alt is intercepted by a hook and directed to the app to work with the ribbon.

Any chance this is fixed in the current CJ codebase?

We have found GetDeviceCaps is returning virtual, not physical sizes. We can compare that to data returned from GetMonitorInfoEx and if that structure's physical size is different, we apply a virtual to physical scale factor in our calculations. This fixes some issues that look like the one we see when dragging panes from monitor to monitor.

I have to take part of that back. We activated an additional graphics card without attaching a monitor. When we moved our code to my box where I have a 4k monitor, we got different results on the two other non-4k monitors when it came to physical versus virtual info from the monitorinfoex call. At this point, it's damn near impossible to predict the OS when changing the DPI settings to the newer per monitor "V2" and the newer GDI setting that came out with OS build 1709.
