I see your setup with three monitors. Your second monitor shifts to the right when you switch tabs, but when you exit the game it returns to normal or you can adjust it again. Need more details?

First of all, you don’t need those many tabs—especially since someone with 57 open tabs is pointing out this issue. I’ve experienced the same problem with my old Windows 7 system; switching to borderless fullscreen seemed to help. Adjusting your resolution usually causes more trouble, so it’s best to handle it yourself. At least it doesn’t mess with your desktop items.

I recall needing those Chrome tabs, almost every one on there. The UBT borderless option isn’t available, and sometimes it shifts desktop icons while others stay fixed. But it seems to move whatever app is visible on screen, so the display appears only half what’s shown in the screenshot. Thanks for the reply.

all your screens share a single "grid" where apps are positioned, beginning at the top-left of your main screen. when you resize your primary display—like stretching games—everything beyond that area shifts accordingly since the grid dimensions change. the only solutions are to permanently stretch the middle screen or make it the last one, or simply adapt to the new layout.

Creating a convincing fake screen in between your monitors could potentially resolve the issue.

Yes, you're suggesting adding a fake display in between the stretched element and the rest of the image to make up for the width gap. It seems like a potential solution, though it might add extra complexity to the overall fix.
