Steps to reproduce

  1. Create a zone layout with without "spaces around zones" (I'm actually using -2px on these screenshot'd layouts but the behavior is identical with this setting turned off completely).
  2. Snap certain programs (listed below) to one of these zones.

✔️ Expected Behavior

Window expands to fully fill the zone in the same way that the vast majority of programs do.

❌ Actual Behavior

Window has an ~8 pixel gap on 1-2 sides. As you can see from the screenshot, the ones on my bottom monitor (4K, "primary" monitor in Windows, 1.5 DPI scaling) have a gap on the right, left, and bottom ends of the screen, but not on the top (where my taskbar is).
On my top monitor (1440p, 1.0 DPI scaling), it doesn't occur on the top of the screen or the bottom (where my taskbar is), but it does still happen on the left & right ends.

Other Software

Windows 11 x64 Pro (same behavior was occurring for me months ago on Windows 10 x64 Pro as well)
Everything Search 1.4 and 1.5a
Directory Opus 12.33
RemoveEmptyDirectories 2.2.0.0
nVIDIA Profile Inspector 2.4.0.4
