FancyZones hotkeys to change layouts doesn't respect mouse cursor

Area(s) with issue?

FancyZones

Steps to reproduce

I'm using 3 monitors, and when I have my mouse on either of the ones that are not the primary screen, using a hotkey (ctrl-win-alt-2 for example) will set that FancyZones layout on both of the secondary monitors. This was working properly in prior versions. Manually setting the layout using Layout editor works properly.

✔️ Expected Behavior

Only the monitor with the mouse would get the layout selected using the hotkey.

❌ Actual Behavior

Secondary monitors have the same layout applied.

...and now that I've used the layout editor to select layouts (and submitted this bug)... the hotkeys are working properly. 🤷

So... maybe it was a problem with internal inconsistency with saved data that got fixed by using the layout editor?

I'll leave this open for a day or two in case it comes back, but otherwise it seems "fixed" for now.

This hasn't reappeared and I only saw it on one of my machines so probably not something to worry about.

Ok, this has reappeared multiple times whenever I restart. And, I think I know what might be the reason this is happening. The machine this occurs on is on the Insider Beta channel. When I fix it by using the layout editor, it's no longer a problem until the next reboot. But once I reboot, the zones are wrong on the non-primary monitors and I have to fix it again.

FYI - this also happens with 0.68.1.

Still an issue with 0.69.0. I am currently on Insider Beta channel build 22624.1537, if that's helpful.
