I am using the DisplayFusion taskbar on my second monitor. Normal Windows XP behavior(auto-hide = disabled) is to maximize a window, putting the bottom of the window against the top of the windows taskbar.

With DisplayFusion v3.1.4, when maximizing a window with auto-hide disabled, the bottom of the window is covered with the toolbar, making the bottom of the window not visible. Only remedy is to avoid maximizing windows, and manually resize the window to an acceptable size, and so, making the bottom of a window visible again.

The windows XP bahaviour is the "expected behavior" what should be the same in DisplayFusion. Is this issue occurring on all installations of DisplayFusion v3.1.4? Can it be resolved?

[size=1]This bug is the same as described in http://www.binaryfortress.com/Forum/index.php?topic=1023.msg4139[/size]

Hi Jon,

Here are the screenshots you requested. These screenshots are made from maximized Firefox windows.

The Mozilla Firefox statusbar is visible when the Windows XP taskbar is on-top(Auto-hide the taskbar= disabled).



The Mozilla Firefox statusbar is not visible when the DisplayFusion taskbar is on-top(Auto-hide the DisplayFusion Taskbars= disabled). Clearly the DisplayFusion taskbar is covering the Firefox statusbar.



Thanks.

Regards,

Joris

Hi, any updates regarding this bug?

Displayfusion 3.1.4.7 beta does not resolve this issue.

Hi Jon,

Is there any way you can replicate this bug and eventually fix it?

Many thanks, and keep up the good work.

Joris Klop

I do have Google Desktop bar (looks like the Windows Vista sidebar). The bug is present with every application.

Heheh, smart!, When i close Google sidebar the problem is resolved, somehow the Google sidebar disables the ability of DisplayFusion to resize the window. For the time being i keep the sidebar shut down, however, if possible would be nice if it is possible to resolve this compatibility issue with Google's desktop sidebar.

Just to say, the sidebar is not automatically started when Google Desktop is installed, so not all Google Desktop users are affected with this compatibility issue.

Thanks.

Regards,

Joris

Here a complete screenshot when the problem is occurring.

The most important is that Google sidebar is enabled, after enabling this, the problem returned within a hour(think a reboot with the Google taskbar enabled, also would introduce the problem).

Thanks for your help.

Regards,

Joris
