WinMove() not moving and resizing with single command

[willichan]

I am having an interesting problem with WinMove() when moving multiple windows.

Running this code

WinMove("Session A - [24 x 80]", "", 170, 80, 735, 413, 1)
WinMove("Session B - [24 x 80]", "", 915, 80, 735, 413, 1)
WinMove("Session C - [24 x 80]", "", 170, 480, 735, 413, 1)
WinMove("Session D - [24 x 80]", "", 915, 480, 735, 413, 1)

both moves AND resizes the first window, but only moves the remaining windows without resizing them.

I tried interjecting a Sleep(100) between each WinMove() call, but no change in behavior.

However, if I double up the calls,

Global $a
$a = WinMove("Session A - [24 x 80]", "", 170, 80, 735, 413, 1)
If $a <> 0 Then WinMove("Session A - [24 x 80]", "", 170, 80, 735, 413, 1)
WinMove("Session B - [24 x 80]", "", 915, 80, 735, 413, 1)
If $a <> 0 Then WinMove("Session B - [24 x 80]", "", 915, 80, 735, 413, 1)
WinMove("Session C - [24 x 80]", "", 170, 480, 735, 413, 1)
If $a <> 0 Then WinMove("Session C - [24 x 80]", "", 170, 480, 735, 413, 1)
WinMove("Session D - [24 x 80]", "", 915, 480, 735, 413, 1)
If $a <> 0 Then WinMove("Session D - [24 x 80]", "", 915, 480, 735, 413, 1)

then everything seems to work, but it seems a rather uneligant solution.

Any thoughts?

(Using AutoIt 3.3.12.0 on a Win7-64bit machine)

Next I'd try activating the window first.

That worked. 

  I am still puzzled as to why it would move the window without activating it first, but not resize it.

Does seen a little odd like.

Actually, I just found that activating first still intermittantly does not resize.

Global $a
$a = WinActivate("Session A - [24 x 80]", "")
If $a <> 0 Then WinMove("Session A - [24 x 80]", "", 170, 80, 735, 413, 1)
$a = WinActivate("Session B - [24 x 80]", "")
If $a <> 0 Then WinMove("Session B - [24 x 80]", "", 915, 80, 735, 413, 1)
$a = WinActivate("Session C - [24 x 80]", "")
If $a <> 0 Then WinMove("Session C - [24 x 80]", "", 170, 480, 735, 413, 1)
$a = WinActivate("Session D - [24 x 80]", "")
If $a <> 0 Then WinMove("Session D - [24 x 80]", "", 915, 480, 735, 413, 1)

This code works half the time, but only resized the first window the other half.

So far the only solution that has not failed is to WinMove() twice for each window.
