I'm running beta 12 under XP SP2 and it isn't fixed.

Here's how to repro:

Run WinAmp.
Go to OptionsPreferences.
Select General Preferences.
Click "Scroll title in the Windows taskbar".
Click close button.

I'm going to wager that you are looking for changes in the icon (for example, a color change associated with blinking?) to determine whether to keep the the task bar displayed. Well, I guess scrolling isn't exactly blinking, but it is holding the DF task bar open once it is displayed. Unchecking the WinAmp option gets rid of the symptom. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/winamp-scroll-title-in-windows-taskbar-keeps-df-taskbar-from-auto-hiding/?ID=68a53847-76a7-4583-bcbf-42c3afd83c86#12 Mon, 17 May 2010 22:53:59 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/winamp-scroll-title-in-windows-taskbar-keeps-df-taskbar-from-auto-hiding/?ID=68a53847-76a7-4583-bcbf-42c3afd83c86#12 DisplayFusion I've got it fixed now, Beta 9 will include this fix.

Sorry, no joy. I ran with no other apps running and running Winamp causes the taskbar to stay visible. If I go to the third monitor and display the taskbar, it also won't autohide. Close Winamp and both taskbars will notice within about 15 seconds and autohide.

Any more info I can find for you? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/winamp-scroll-title-in-windows-taskbar-keeps-df-taskbar-from-auto-hiding/?ID=68a53847-76a7-4583-bcbf-42c3afd83c86#9 Sat, 17 Apr 2010 03:19:29 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/winamp-scroll-title-in-windows-taskbar-keeps-df-taskbar-from-auto-hiding/?ID=68a53847-76a7-4583-bcbf-42c3afd83c86#9 DisplayFusion Can you give the newly released Beta 6 a try and see if it helps with your issue? I've made a number of improvements to the Taskbar auto-hiding in this release.

After re-reading your issue, I think I may have mis-understood you initially. Are you saying that your taskbar is "stuck", like frozen, when Winamp is open? Or is the issue that your taskbar won't auto-hide when Winamp is open? Thanks, and sorry for the confusion. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/winamp-scroll-title-in-windows-taskbar-keeps-df-taskbar-from-auto-hiding/?ID=68a53847-76a7-4583-bcbf-42c3afd83c86#6 Sat, 27 Mar 2010 23:50:58 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/winamp-scroll-title-in-windows-taskbar-keeps-df-taskbar-from-auto-hiding/?ID=68a53847-76a7-4583-bcbf-42c3afd83c86#6 DisplayFusion From looking at the new log, I would say it is definitely a Winamp problem. I'll see if I can reproduce the issue on my test machines. Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/winamp-scroll-title-in-windows-taskbar-keeps-df-taskbar-from-auto-hiding/?ID=68a53847-76a7-4583-bcbf-42c3afd83c86#5 Fri, 26 Mar 2010 18:23:25 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/winamp-scroll-title-in-windows-taskbar-keeps-df-taskbar-from-auto-hiding/?ID=68a53847-76a7-4583-bcbf-42c3afd83c86#5 DisplayFusion Sorry about multi-posting.
This is 100% a WinAmp symptom. Showing and hiding the program causes and cures the problem.

I've gone back to the log file, snipping starting from where WinAmp launched. I've shown and minimized the program multiple times. Minimizing causes it to go to the tray (a WinAmp feature). Once the icon disappears from the taskbar, the taskbar doesn't auto hide, however. But if I move the mouse to it, then away, the taskbar auto-hides. Symmetrically, once I show WinAmp, the taskbars don't auto-show, but if I mouse to them, they show and get stuck.

BTW, I tried to recreate the programs running at the time of my first report. I almost didn't run WinAmp, but I'm glad I did. I'm running my music from a different device today, as I usually do, so now I don't have the symptom because I've closed WinAmp. So, there you go. Winamp is at v5.092.

I hope the log helps. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/winamp-scroll-title-in-windows-taskbar-keeps-df-taskbar-from-auto-hiding/?ID=68a53847-76a7-4583-bcbf-42c3afd83c86#4 Fri, 26 Mar 2010 18:03:13 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/winamp-scroll-title-in-windows-taskbar-keeps-df-taskbar-from-auto-hiding/?ID=68a53847-76a7-4583-bcbf-42c3afd83c86#4 DisplayFusion Here is your symptom log. It took a few minutes after rebooting (req by beta install) to have it happen. I am thinking that it is related to what I am running. I think the culprit, because I run it so rarely on this machine, is WinAmp.

Attached is the symptom log and the troubleshooting. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/winamp-scroll-title-in-windows-taskbar-keeps-df-taskbar-from-auto-hiding/?ID=68a53847-76a7-4583-bcbf-42c3afd83c86#3 Fri, 26 Mar 2010 17:28:41 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/winamp-scroll-title-in-windows-taskbar-keeps-df-taskbar-from-auto-hiding/?ID=68a53847-76a7-4583-bcbf-42c3afd83c86#3 DisplayFusion Will do, back in a bit. I'll look for the can't drag to a monitor after installing issue also! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/winamp-scroll-title-in-windows-taskbar-keeps-df-taskbar-from-auto-hiding/?ID=68a53847-76a7-4583-bcbf-42c3afd83c86#2 Fri, 26 Mar 2010 15:06:05 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/winamp-scroll-title-in-windows-taskbar-keeps-df-taskbar-from-auto-hiding/?ID=68a53847-76a7-4583-bcbf-42c3afd83c86#2 DisplayFusion There is definitely something wrong there, I've never seen a log file like that before. Can you install this new beta and give it a try:

This beta probably won't fix your issue, but it will generate a better log file. Can you post the new log here after is is running for a bit and the error happens? Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/winamp-scroll-title-in-windows-taskbar-keeps-df-taskbar-from-auto-hiding/?ID=68a53847-76a7-4583-bcbf-42c3afd83c86 Fri, 26 Mar 2010 00:29:13 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/winamp-scroll-title-in-windows-taskbar-keeps-df-taskbar-from-auto-hiding/?ID=68a53847-76a7-4583-bcbf-42c3afd83c86 DisplayFusion Jon,

I've noticed that sometime one or both of my DF taskbars are stuff in a 3 monitor system. I've tried toggling the auto-hide and multi-monitor taskbars on and off to no avail.

Attached is a log snippet, troubleshooting data, and pictures. ]]>
