This issue should be fixed up in the latest beta, available here: https://www.displayfusion.com/Download/Beta. Please let me know if you still run into any trouble after updating.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-8-start-button-flashing/?ID=413af7bd-197a-4e51-a22c-99050fdfb340#8 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 17:53:45 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-8-start-button-flashing/?ID=413af7bd-197a-4e51-a22c-99050fdfb340#8 DisplayFusion Thanks! I can reproduce this, and it is related to Firefox. I've put it on our list, and I'll be sure to let you know when we're able to get it fixed up

In the meantime, if you don't use the Search box (next to the address bar) in Firefox, removing that from the toolbar should prevent this from happening. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-8-start-button-flashing/?ID=413af7bd-197a-4e51-a22c-99050fdfb340#7 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 16:06:36 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-8-start-button-flashing/?ID=413af7bd-197a-4e51-a22c-99050fdfb340#7 DisplayFusion Quite often but not all of the time (the rest of the time it is usually minimised). ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-8-start-button-flashing/?ID=413af7bd-197a-4e51-a22c-99050fdfb340#6 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 19:59:51 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-8-start-button-flashing/?ID=413af7bd-197a-4e51-a22c-99050fdfb340#6 DisplayFusion Thanks! Do you have Firefox maximized on the monitor when this is happening? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-8-start-button-flashing/?ID=413af7bd-197a-4e51-a22c-99050fdfb340#5 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 20:25:47 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-8-start-button-flashing/?ID=413af7bd-197a-4e51-a22c-99050fdfb340#5 DisplayFusion I'm going to try again with this post.

It's the same time as before, I kept copies of the files. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-8-start-button-flashing/?ID=413af7bd-197a-4e51-a22c-99050fdfb340#4 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 19:52:01 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-8-start-button-flashing/?ID=413af7bd-197a-4e51-a22c-99050fdfb340#4 DisplayFusion Looks like the DebugInfo.html got attached twice. Could you reproduce it again and send a new copy of DisplayFusion.log?

• On the Troubleshooting tab, change the Logging drop-down to "L1: Log Minimal"
• Restart DisplayFusion
• Reproduce the issue and note the time so we'll know where to check in the log file
• Send us the DisplayFusion.log and DebugInfo.html files (can be found by clicking the Open Log button on the Troubleshooting tab)
• Disable debug logging after sending the log

It's not constant and I don't know what causes it to start, I restarted display fusion a few minutes ago and it's started flashing again. It does seem to stop if I right click it. I use Classic Shell for an old-style start menu, which could clash.

There's some strange behaviour related to it (while flashing):
- sometimes clicking causes the primary monitor start menu to show instead
- sometimes clicking shows the start menu but the button disappears
- sometimes clicking does nothing at all
- sometimes clicking causes the modern start "screen" to open instead of the start menu

The only things I have open are Sticky Notes, Skype and Firefox. ]]>
