Minor Glitches

<< < (4/5) > >>

sgtevmckay:
I got you:



I have not seen this happen to me since v1.0
If toggle dock visibility will it go away?????

Markham:
You will generally only see this effect when adding a new Dock Item using the context menu's "Add File, Folder or Special Item". The program is, at that point, in a bit of a "chicken and egg" situation. It can't place the dock item without some form of valid image and the dock item isn't added - and the dock redrawn - until that dialog is dismissed. This form of behaviour has been in all versions of the program and is down to the way the Net Framework works.

I have not witnessed the behaviour you mention and no-one else has mentioned it either, so I'm not yet convinced that there's a problem with Circle Dock in that regard. It is conceivable that an image has got "stuck" some how and if that's the case, select the dock and do something that will cause it to reposition its items on screen - such as move it or rotate the items. That should clear the effect.

I have seen this issue out side of Creating a new icon instance.
Observe closely, you will see that there are 3 or four icons in that corner from several areas.

I have not seen this since v1, but normally toggling will correct.
When it happened to me it was usually during startup or starting CD

So it is not an isolated creation of a shortcut, but something else

Markham:
I am wondering if this is another 64-bit only issue. 32-bit programs running on a 64-bit OS are running in an emulator ("WOW" or "Windows On Windows") and there could be an issue there.

I need to get a true 64-bit version done.

Archon of Fate:
Im not sure if it would be a 64 bit issue besause im running the 32 bit version of windows 7
