Hi there,

I'm using multi-monitor taskbars, and have the very annoying problem that every so often, seemingly arbitrarily, the taskbars on the non-main displays get stuck behind any open application windows (see attached image). I have, so far, not been able to determine what is triggering this behavior, and have found that restarting DF is the only solution. Once I restart, everything runs as expected.

I'm currently using DF 10.0 Beta 16 (but have also had this problem with previous versions) on Windows 7 SP1 7601. Any and all advice is very much appreciated.

Thanks!

Thanks for the prompt reply, Owen. No, as far as I'm aware I'm not running any third party taskbar software.

Thanks again for the quick response... As far as I have been able to ascertain this behavior happens arbitrarily, and I haven't found a connection to any specific application. As for your second questions, I've never used split monitors, so can't answer that. Once the behavior kicks in, it is the same on all 3 non-main displays (until I restart DF).

Next time it happens, I'll give that a shot and report back with the results... Stay tuned!

Going to revive this thread... Had the same issue happen just now, exited and restarted explorer, and it did not fix the problem. Exited and restarted DF, and all works as expected.

DebugInfo is attached. No Start11 or StartAllBlack here. Thanks much for the prompt reply, Owen!

I can give it a try, but will this run on Windows 7 (SP1 7601)? The System requirements for Beta 22 say Windows 10 and 11.

Hi, Owen... I've attached the debug log to this message. The issue happened on 04/08/2023 at 14:57. Not sure if I did this correctly. I rebooted DF and THEN exported the debug log. Should I have exported BEFORE rebooting?

Hey, Owen... Latest debug log is attached to this post. Same issue happened on 05/22/2023 at around 00:40. Hopefully this will help track down the culprit.

Much appreciate you looking into this!

Downloaded and installed v10.1, Beta 3. So far, so good. I'll report back if the issue returns.

Thanks much, Owen!

Nope... Same thing happened just now. I'm attaching current debug log.

Here's something I noticed, when I clicked the DF icon on the taskbar to open DF (to export the debug log), as the splash screen came up, the taskbar temporarily went INFRONT of the open windows. A few seconds into the splash screen, but before the splash screen closed, the taskbar went BEHIND the open windows again.

I enabled it... Will report back.
