Minor annoyance, but I've noticed frequently that the programs on the 2nd monitor's taskbar will blink away, then blink back, ofttimes re-arranging the order of the programs.

The program I've noticed this happening with most often is Firefox, when it's switching pages. It may be a special behavior of Firefox when it switches pages, but I'm not sure. :)

Please let me know if you need more details. I just switched this morning to beta 11, and saw the error again after that. :-)

Do you notice if Firefox freezes or hangs for a split second when it disappears?

... I notice, though, that the DF taskbar buttons are switching position for some reason: I'll click on a button to minimize/unminimize and it's position get's swapped with another button. Happens with FireFox and Chrome.

Maybe these things are losing their order because of the lag in repositioning them back from their brief appearance on the main task bar... Kind of disorientating when you click on a specific window's button and it gets swapped with another right under your mouse.

I'll add this in from one of my dead threads so it's all in one place.

@benway: Does this issue still happen with Beta 11? I made some changes (in Beta 9 I think) to better handle drag/drop items in Windows 7 that affected the way the taskbar button re-ordering worked. I thought I fixed it in either Beta 10 or 11, but can you confirm that the problem is still present in Beta 11? Thanks!

Yes, it's still present in 11. I just installed 12, so will be able to tell you if it's fixed there :)

Firefox isn't really freezing, but it is loading a new site... So perhaps some of the 'internet lag' I'm seeing is a freeze, it's hard to tell. :)

Just happened, with version 12. I opened Firefox, which is the only app on the right monitor, so it's alone on the taskbar. I then opened a chat window with Digsby, and it was the 2nd on the taskbar. After viewing several pages in Firefox, suddenly Digsby is first, and Firefox is second. Sometimes, if I'm paying attention, I see the active application move to the first monitor, then back. :)

Hopefully that's a better description. :)

I have a definitely reproducable way to make it happen, now. If you minimize any application on the 2nd window, the one with the DisplayFusion taskbar, and then click on the taskbar to restore it, it disappears from the taskbar for a couple seconds, then shows up at the end.

Also, I did upgrade to 13 this morning, so this is latest beta. :)

Thanks for the awesome program! :)

What version of Windows are you using, and are you using any other taskbar related software (UltraMon, any taskbar re-organizing software... etc)?

Jon, I just tried this with only 2 apps on the second monitor - and reproduced it immediately.

7 Ultimate 64bit RTM (Thanks, TechNet!)
nVidia GTX260 * 2 (each monitor attached to a separate card)
SLI enabled
DF Pro 3.0.113 (Beta 13)

His methodology is exactly what I accidentally noticed several days ago, but I could not reproduce it as readily as I now can using this method.
I am I.

Windows Vista Business 32 bit SP2, Firefox 3.0.13, and Disby build 23485. Just installed beta 14, and was able to reproduce. :)

I *had* this issue as well, but as I said in the other topic Beta 14 fixed 'other minimizing problems' for me, this was one of them.

John & frostryder: I just want to confirm that you have tried this with Beta 14 and the issue still happens. It sounds like frostryder is using Beta 14, but have you tried it yet John?

I can't seem to reproduce this. :( Can someone enable the "Debug Logging" option, get this error to occur, then post the log file here? Thanks!

Thanks John, that's good news. It sounds like both you and Domokun are working ok now, and I'd like to hear back from frostryder as well. :) In the meantime, I'm pleased with the progress in the last couple of betas. I wasn't sure these issues would get fully resolved.

I just got a new version, 15, so thought I'd try with this. I do still get the same behavior, where if a program is minimized on the 2nd taskbar, clicking to open it removes it from the 2nd taskbar, then redraws it at the end. :) Not a major problem :)

@frostryder: That is the information from the Troubleshooting tab, but what I really need is the full debug.log file. On the Troubleshooting tab click "Open Log Location" and you should see it there. If it isn't there, make sure you have "Enable debug logging" enabled. Only submit this log file once the error has occurred, and it should show up in there for me to see. Thanks!

Wow, for some reason DF is manually adding/deleting the item over and over. I'll check this out for version 3.1.2. Just out of curiosity, what program was doing this? Thanks!

It's mostly Firefox, but also happens with Digsby :)

Thanks for all your hard work! :)

This information is in regards to an older beta version, so I'm locking/archiving this topic. If you experience this issue again with a newer version please re-post and we'll sort it out. Thanks! :)
