I don't use Internet Explorer here, so that might be why I'm not running into it

I have a suspicion that IE 11 is somehow involved. Usually when I get the symptoms IE is open. Minimizing an activating another tab often fixes the problem under discussion here. However sometimes even the main TB is locked and I have to just wait for whatever process is causing it "to catch up".

I'm also running Windows 8.1, latest CSM 4 beta, and the latest DF beta, and haven't run into anything like that. The DisplayFusion TitleBar Buttons will disappear if a window is hung, so it's definitely a symptom of the window being hung, but doesn't necessarily mean that DisplayFusion was causing it.

Is there any other software that's common between those two systems that you could try disabling to see if they were the cause? ]]> RE: Beta 11, graphical corruption and weirdness? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/beta-11-graphical-corruption-and-weirdness/?ID=d0de3811-ad1b-4a07-a87b-858bf9d3eaf9#21 Fri, 02 Aug 2013 16:46:59 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/beta-11-graphical-corruption-and-weirdness/?ID=d0de3811-ad1b-4a07-a87b-858bf9d3eaf9#21 DisplayFusion Keith and Jon,
I still seem to be having these issues with b13 and CSM 4 beta on Windows 8.1 enterprise preview.
Windows without focus lock up as transparent frames, the window in focus locks and title bar button disappear. Waiting say a minute and it goes back to normal. Not sure if this is DF but it seems similar to this issue. Did the same on 8.1 Pro preview as well.
Pete

Just as a follow-up, I get something very similar on a W8.1 system without DF on it; so it may not be DF causing the problem.

Thanks! ]]> RE: Beta 11, graphical corruption and weirdness? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/beta-11-graphical-corruption-and-weirdness/?ID=d0de3811-ad1b-4a07-a87b-858bf9d3eaf9#19 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 23:19:59 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/beta-11-graphical-corruption-and-weirdness/?ID=d0de3811-ad1b-4a07-a87b-858bf9d3eaf9#19 DisplayFusion I had the same graphical weirdness and overwriting issue as above just last night on Beta 11.
The funny thing is I'm not supposed to be running b11 !!
I rolled back to b7 a month ago and disabled updates but somehow it updated itself to b11.
I inspected the update options and they were un-checked so it shouldn't have updated or even looked for updates.
Weird...and annoying so I updated to b13 and all's well (so far..) ]]> RE: Beta 11, graphical corruption and weirdness? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/beta-11-graphical-corruption-and-weirdness/?ID=d0de3811-ad1b-4a07-a87b-858bf9d3eaf9#18 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 17:32:54 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/beta-11-graphical-corruption-and-weirdness/?ID=d0de3811-ad1b-4a07-a87b-858bf9d3eaf9#18 DisplayFusion Awesome, glad to hear it! ]]> RE: Beta 11, graphical corruption and weirdness? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/beta-11-graphical-corruption-and-weirdness/?ID=d0de3811-ad1b-4a07-a87b-858bf9d3eaf9#17 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 15:26:29 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/beta-11-graphical-corruption-and-weirdness/?ID=d0de3811-ad1b-4a07-a87b-858bf9d3eaf9#17 DisplayFusion LOVE the new mouse feature for misaligned multi monitor systems. I have three monitors and they are not aligned, and one is in portrait mode for document work. That new feature you added sure does work great for that! Thanks.

No other issues with the beta as of yet. ]]> RE: Beta 11, graphical corruption and weirdness? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/beta-11-graphical-corruption-and-weirdness/?ID=d0de3811-ad1b-4a07-a87b-858bf9d3eaf9#16 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 01:29:07 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/beta-11-graphical-corruption-and-weirdness/?ID=d0de3811-ad1b-4a07-a87b-858bf9d3eaf9#16 DisplayFusion Hey all! We've just posted Beta 13 (Beta 12 fixed the GDI object leak, but had another weird issue). Please let us know if you run into any trouble after updating to Beta 13

Thanks! ]]> RE: Beta 11, graphical corruption and weirdness? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/beta-11-graphical-corruption-and-weirdness/?ID=d0de3811-ad1b-4a07-a87b-858bf9d3eaf9#15 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 19:44:36 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/beta-11-graphical-corruption-and-weirdness/?ID=d0de3811-ad1b-4a07-a87b-858bf9d3eaf9#15 DisplayFusion

Thank you Keith

Same symptom with beta 11, where can we download beta 10 please ?

With beta 11, getting all sorts of weirdness where the DF taskbar stops redrawing after a while -- meaning no hover animations, and taskbar items showing the wrong task!

I'm back to beta 10 using the "Restore Previous Versions" trick, thanks to touki for suggesting it.

Quote:

After unsuccessfully searching for the installation file I was able to restore to the previous version by right clicking on the program folder 'C:\Program Files (x86)\DisplayFusion' and the going to the previous version tab and copying the dir over the top of the current install

Touki, thanks for the help.

I was contemplating my options as my screens were all gig'd up too! I was successful in copy/pasting all the files from the backup to the current displayfusion folder contents and now all the anomalies have gone away. I did unload the software first and then restart displayfusion and it even asked me to update to beta 11, which I skipped. Now back to being a happy camper.

I run three monitors, one of them in portrait mode for documents, and a displayfusion taskbar on both of the non-primary displays(an option I love!). I could not get anything done today.

Thanks for the info. Maybe some of my extra explanations help somebody else. Love the software and wasn't happy this beta didn't work. But it was the FIRST beta ever to have any issues at all for me.

Just a right click "switch to previous version" in one of the menus. ]]> RE: Beta 11, graphical corruption and weirdness? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/beta-11-graphical-corruption-and-weirdness/?ID=d0de3811-ad1b-4a07-a87b-858bf9d3eaf9#5 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 10:50:27 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/beta-11-graphical-corruption-and-weirdness/?ID=d0de3811-ad1b-4a07-a87b-858bf9d3eaf9#5 DisplayFusion I'm getting all of these mentioned weirdness, as well. I hope this gets fixed quickly.

In the meantime, is there a link to download the installer for beta 10 so that I can downgrade while I wait for a fix?

When I try and right click on the tray icon there is no menu either.

I'm having odd problems with programs drawing themselves over the top of other programs and what have you.
Never had a problem before with stuff like this, been running betas for 12 to 18 months.

If I end task display fusion (which is still responding mind you) - problem instantly goes awy
