After I installed the final release DF 4.2.0, whenever my mouse touches my dock, the dock quickly flashes a couple times before normal operation resumes. This also is happening in 4.3.0 beta 1. The 4.2 betas worked fine, and only began with 4.2 final.

I'm running ObjectDock Pro, Classic Start Menu, as well as DF upon startup. I have reinstalled all, leaving DF till last, and the problem only manifests itself after the DF installation.

My machine is a Gateway DX4860 w/ Intel I5 3.0 GHz, 8 gb ram, & NVidia 440GT video card running (2) Asus VW246H 24" 1920x1080 monitors in DVI mode. Win 7 x64 SP-1 All software and drivers are up to date.

To clarify, is it the ObjectDock dock that's flashing when your mouse moves over it?

Yes, It's the ObjectDock that flashes.

Ok, I haven't been able to reproduce this here yet, so I have a few more questions:
  • If you exit DisplayFusion, does the issue go away?
  • Can you attach a copy of the info from your DisplayFusion Settings > Troubleshooting tab?
  • I only have access to the free version of ObjectDock, and I've just got it enabled with default settings. Do you have any custom settings on ObjectDock?
Thanks!

Hi Keith. Thanks for you help on this, but I have discovered that the issue is with the last two NVidia video drivers.

When I first posted, I rolled back to the previous driver without correcting the problem. A pal of mine suggested that I go back two versions, and voila!! Problem gone.

Keep up the good work, and thanks again.

SHIT! I thought the problem was solved, but it has appeared again. No, the problem does not go away upon DF exit, but the problem manifested itself after the 4.2.0 Final.

I run three docks, and it's only my main zoomer dock that flashes. I have a tabbed dock and a tray icon dock, neither of these flash.

Troubleshooting log is attached.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Keith;

Mark this a solved. After a couple OD & DF reinstalls, the issue has indeed finally disappeared.

I don't really know what the conflict was, but it's really gone. It seems that installing DF BEFORE OD made the diff.

Thanks for all of your help.

I'm kind of experiencing this myself, too, but it appears to be an issue with the driver of the video card not you guys. I did tests with displayfusion completely off and still got flashes. Although, I think I got the problem fixed, so no worries. :P

This seems to be a problem when updating Windows 7 x64-based Systems (KB2603229). If you go into your object dock settings and change 'accessibility' from keep on bottom to regular it will stop glitching. I'm not entirely sure what the difference between 'keep on bottom' and 'regular' is....they seem to function the same.
