Description

With a multi-monitor setup (possibly important: screens are different resolutions and not aligned), pinning an image to the Desktop will often pin it off-screen. I can confirm that the image pin is created by launching Task View and noting that the pinned image is still visible:

Steps to reproduce

Context: multiple monitors set up (probably important: with different dimensions and some negative X/Y bounds (detailed monitor configuration provided under System Information))

1. Launch Flameshot using either the PrtScn keyboard shortcut or the Windows Taskbar Launcher icon (equivalent of flameshot gui)
2. Select a region
3. Click the Pin image to the Desktop icon
   Pinned image should not be visible on-screen
4. Launch Task View (Win+Tab) and verify that a pinned window has in fact been created (just not visible)
   A "flameshot" window with the pinned image should appear in the list of windows open on the desktop
5. Close Task View and note that the pinned image is still not visible; it's off-screen

Monitors

The monitor labels used below come from the monitor device names (provided below under System Information > Monitor Configuration)

• DISPLAY5: The monitor in the left of frame in the recording (landscape)
• DISPLAY1: The monitor in the right of frame in the recording (landscape)
• DISPLAY4: A monitor out of frame and to the right of DISPLAY1 (portrait)

Video Description

• Launch flameshot
• Select and pin region to Desktop
• Pinned image is not visible on-screen
• Launch Task View to demonstrate that the pinned image has been created on the Desktop
• Use keyboard shortcuts to move the pinned image between monitors, which eventually gets it on-screen

Timestamps

Timestamp	Description
00:00-00:07	Launching Flameshot and selecting region on DISPLAY1
00:07-00:07	Clicking "Pin image to Desktop"
00:07-00:09	The mouse freaks out that the pinned image is not visible (it's a bit of a drama queen) Note: at this point, the image is pinned and has keyboard focus; it's simply below the bottom of DISPLAY1
00:09-00:13	Launch Task View to show that the screenshot is in fact open (it's below DISPLAY1 right now)
00:13-00:15	Clicking Win+Shift+→ to move the pinned image to DISPLAY4 (out of frame to the right) and then to DISPLAY5 (left in frame). This action for some reason gets the pinned image on-screen.
00:15-00:19	Moving pinned image around DISPLAY5 to demonstrate it is now on-screen
00:19-00:22	Moving pinned image around DISPLAY1, where it was originally selected/pinned, now finally on-screen 😄
