Fullscreen over main display cannot be on top

Hi, I have two fullscreens being send out to 2 displays groups. The main monitor where I have my vmix opened has a fullscreen (with customized resolution) which I would like to behave as being on top. I have selected it in display settings ofcourse.
My external monitor has the fullscreen always on top like it is supposed to be. On the main monitor (selected in windows as such) the main vmix window is overlapping the fullscreen window. Why is my main monitor not behaving the same as my extended displays?
Thank you

Thank you ANd where will your vMix window go to them?

I think this was intentional because it used to be that you could accidentally put your fullscreen over your main window and then have no way to disable it unless you already had a shortcut / API access.
As a hacky workaround- have your primary screen's fullscreen use a custom output area (in vMix fullscreen settings) and then drag your main window to take up the few remaining pixels. This only works if you can slice/scale on your display so that you don't see the bottom few pixels.

In fact, that's how it used to work, and was the reason Esc as "FullscreenOff" became my first shortcut. The first time, I had to Ctrl + Alt + Delete to open Task Manager to get out of it. At some point, they modified that behavior and added the "On Top" setting, which I believe used to work to achieve the desired results, but testing it now, doesn't. You can minimize and maximize the main vMix window, but that's kind of a hassle, even with something like a Stream Deck, and defeats the entire purpose of the "On Top" setting. I'm wondering if it's a bug that they just haven't noticed or been able to fix yet, since, again, it defeats the entire purpose of the "On Top" setting.

From the help files: Quote:On Top: Fullscreen window will always be on top of other windows if displayed on a different display. If displayed on the same display as vMix this option will have no effect.
