[Bug] Menu displaying
« on: December 15, 2012, 03:26 PM »
Hi,

I experience a bug displaying the menu (Windows 7 Pro x64, SP1): Show the menu, move the mouse and then show the menu again. The menu at the old location will remain.

Here is a screenshot:

Yikes, that's unpleasant!  Doesn't seem to happen here but I need to try it on win 7 and see if i can reproduce.

Some more details: CHS v2.17.1.0 (portable)

Maybe it has something to do with the video card?
I attached a video clip showing this behavior.

Does it happen with right-click too or just left-click?  Does it happen with any other programs?

Do the old menus that are shown actually "work" -- that is, can you click items on them? Or are they just graphics artifacts left on screen?

I don't click any mouse button. I press the hotkey for the menu, move the mouse and press the hotkey again, move the mouse again and so on.

This bug occurs in Notepad++, Notepad, WordPad, Word, Firefox,... seems to occur in every program.

The old menus are not clickable, but strangely they react to the hotkey for showing/hiding the menu.

Ah I understand now!
You are repeatedly pressing the HOTKEY to show the quick paste menu.. I thought you were bringing up the tray icon menu.

Ok I can reproduce this now.  I will fix -- though it's not really a problem per se, it is disconcerting.

The tray icon menu is another thing. On my Vista system, if I right-click on the tray icon the menu appears briefly where I'd expect -- above the notification area -- then leaps up 1/3 of the screen so it's approximately vertically centred. It's been doing it for a while, it's most disconcerting, but it doesn't do it on the XP or 7 machines I use. Have I set an obscure option that I shouldn't have? I don't think this USED to happen... :huh:

Left-clicking does not produce same bug as right-click?

No. The menu is positioned just above the taskbar as it should be.
