When using WindowsFX 3.0 beta current version and swith desktops with virtual desktop, if the windows are positioned to top and left they will move to the right a couple of pixels each time you switch back and forth between the desktops. Is this a known bug? is there a fix? Systems specs,

Are you using the maximize to set size option in WindowFX?

Did a little more checking this morning before going to work will check more later tonight but this appears to only happen when windows animation is used. All other settings working great.
