FancyZones is no longer properly saving my screen layouts

Area(s) with issue?

FancyZones, FancyZones Editor

Steps to reproduce

Launch the FancyZones Layout Editor and select monitor #2 or #3. Adjust the layout as desired for each display. Both displays will be saved with the same layout which will be the last one selected. It seems impossible to save different layouts to both displays.

✔️ Expected Behavior

The previous version worked as expected and the layouts were saved correctly.

❌ Actual Behavior

I have a triple monitor setup. My primary display is a Samsung Odyssey G9 with two Gigabyte G27q displays mounted above it. The software doesn't seem to properly detect the correct resolution on the top two monitors and when I attempt to save the layout it applies the layouts incorrectly to both of them. They usually both get the same layout that was assigned to monitor #2 even though monitor #3 was given a different layout. The Samsung monitor appears to be unaffected.

It may be a result of the unusually large screen size of the Samsung display or the fact that it's a different size from the other two monitors or maybe even the fact that I'm using 3 displays.

Other Software

No response

I'm seeing behaviour similar to @Gahawn with my Surface Laptop Studio driving two external 4K Dell U2720Qs: I can set the screen-specific layout but as soon as the FancyZone config window is closed, both external screens have same zone layout. The internal screen, however -- the primary display -- gets the correct one set.

I am seeing the same behaviour on a SLS as well.

Seeing similar behaviour. Reproducing on a clean slate settings with following steps:

1. enable fancyzones
2. open editor
3. screen 1: columns, screen 2: rows, screen 3: priority grid
4. close editor
5. observe all 3 screens have column zones
6. open editor
7. observe all 3 screens are showing priority grid selected (?)
8. close editor, making no changes
9. observe all 3 screens with priority grid zones

It seems to "stabilise" at this point. Pertinent files as of the end of the above steps:

Same for me. Two Odyssey 49" monitors. Saved fine before this update.
