Fusion 360 window, when the side bar is shown, moves after minimization

Hello, I'm using Windows 10 with the taskbar on the side, specifically on the left. This bug occurs only when Fusion 360 has enabled/shown side bar (the one with all the projects). When it is hidden it works properly.

So, when I minimize Fusion 360 window and then click on the taskbar icon to show it again it seems to move entirely to the left (as if to the screen coordinate X: 0) being hidden partialy under the taskbar (like on the attached screenshot). Then I have to click on this "square" button in the window's top bar to disable maximization and click it again to display the window maximized again in correct position on the screen.

This is really annoying. It happens everytime I minimize the Fusion 360 window. I have this issue for a few months but I can't remember exactly with which update it's started. I thought maybe it's temporary but to this day it hasn't been fixed. I have to add that I've checked it and this occurs on two different computers.

 

Can you help me?

I have created an MP4 showing the same configuration you speak of on a Windows 10 computer.  As you can see, this probably is not a bug since I cannot replicate the issue you speak of.  I would explore some of your display settings to find what is specific to your system.

I just tested it in the Windows 10 sandbox, so fresh Windows and Fusion 360 installation - still the same. So it seems to be unindependent on settings. I'm using Windows 10 21H2. Sandbox Windows version is 2004.

 

I also forgot to mention, even when Fusion 360 window is maximized and the side bar in Fusion is closed, when you open it, the bug still occurs. When switching Fusion 360 window from minimized to maximized it is visible for a split second that windows is properly displayed, then it moves to the left hiding under the taskbar.

 

Maybe it's a graphics card driver's issue. I'm using Intel HD + Nvidia GeForce graphics. I'll try to check on a computer with a different graphics.

 

Edit:

I installed Fusion 360 on another computer with AMD graphics and it works fine so it seems to be the problem with drivers. Nonetheless it happens only in Fusion 360 so the software is kind of not compatible with current drivers.

 

Edit #2:

I found another machine with some older version of Fusion 360. Before updating Fusion it was working fine but after, the same thing happens. So what I know now is that it is dependent on graphics card (occurs on Nvidia drivers), independent of Windows and Fusion settings and also the issue wasn't there on older version of Fusion - after upgrading Fusion to the latest version, on the same computer and the same system, even without restarting it, it started to happen.
