Using 5.1.1 on Windows 7 x64, the start button (not the whole bar) on my secondary monitor flashes over the top of full screen applications like YouTube and Netflix. This is intermittent, appearing to happen at random and lasts between 1 and 3 seconds each occurrence. Time between occurrences can be as little as 1 minute or as long as 1 hour.
On the Settings > Taskbar tab, do you have the "Allow taskbar reloading while full screen applications are running" option enabled? If so, could you try disabling it? It sounds like the taskbar could be reloading and temporarily be setting the Start button as the topmost window.

Thanks for your reply!
Unfortunately, I do not have this option enabled.
I have also closed most of my running programs and successfully reproduced the problem, so I don't believe it's something I or a third party app is causing - at least on the surface.

Sorry about the delay, it has been a very busy couple of weeks.
Here is the log file along with a file containing times I noticed the issue occur.
The issue may have occurred more than the times I noted, but each recorded time was a definite reproduction of the issue.

Just wanted to follow-up and see if you could try the latest DisplayFusion beta for this issue. We've fixed a few Z-Order issues, and that should hopefully fix up your issue with the Start button showing above full screen video as well.
Thanks!

Unfortunately, after monitoring for five days, the problem still persists after installing the update.
Ok, would you be able to send over a new debug log (as per the steps in post #4)? We added more logging for the z-order stuff to help us track this down.
Thanks!

I'm sorry I haven't gotten back to you in so long! I've been extremely busy and plain forgot until it started getting extremely annoying tonight!
Here is a new log with times!

Thanks! I'll check these out again.
Ok, is it still just the Start button that's coming to the front? Could you send over a new debug log with the times that it came to the front noted?
Thanks!
