I love DisplayFusion, but one thing that really bugs me is that the taskbar buttons start flashing when you drag the cursor over them. This most commonly happens when moving a horizontal scroll bar thumb and the cursor drifts down onto the taskbar. After leaving the mouse button down for a second or so, the button underneath it starts flashing. This can repeat for each button that you hover over, until you end up with a bar full of flashing windows.
It doesn't seem to happen when dragging a file between windows though.

Is this with 3.3.1 or a beta? I can't reproduce it with 3.4 b9.
Sorry, I should have included the version in the original post. This is running 3.4.0 Beta 9 on Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-bit.
It seems that the "Focus window when mouse is dragged over Taskbar button" is related, as if I disable this, the flashing doesn't happen. But it seems that when it's enabled, it's trying to give the window focus and not succeeding, hence the flashing.

Huh. This still works fine for me, with the exact same setup... Win 7 Pro SP1 64-bit.
Does it happen when you're dragging the scrollbar in any window, or only in certain ones?
Seems to happen in everything, but definitely in Chrome (latest dev build) and Excel 2007. Some Explorer windows come to the front, every other window just flashes its taskbar button. In my opinion, if you're dragging a scrollbar thumb, neither of those things should happen.
I'm using the Windows Aero theme and I have the old style Icon + Text taskbar buttons enabled, with taskbar grouping disabled.
I also have ATI Catalyst installed but I'm not using any of it's HydraVision window management tools.
Not that I'm aware of.
I also realised today that the same thing happens when I select a block of text in a maximized window by dragging the cursor to the bottom of the screen.
