Phantom CHS taskbar icon
« on: August 01, 2013, 04:02 PM »
A couple of times a day I'm getting a CHS taskbar icon in Win7 32 bit. Right-clicking it only shows "Close". I just click on the icon and it closes itself. But I can't see what is causing this. I don't seem to have any settings that would be relevant. It seems to happen at random times.

Hmm.. can anyone else speak to this? Anyone else seeing this?  Does it happens when you are performing some CHS action?

No, it's totally independent of any CHS action on my part - at least it seems so, but then, my taskbar is hidden so it might be happening when I do something, and I only notice it later. I thought it might be due to a periodic automatic clipboard reconnection, but that's not turned on. Also, it actually takes two left-clicks to make the icon disappear. I use CHS 2.19.01, and it's still happening.

Just wanted to let you know this behavior has stopped. Something else must have been triggering it. I suspect it may have been something to do with my cloud syncing regimen, whereby I saved my appdata hierarchy to a folder, then encrypted it and synced it to the cloud on a regular basis. I'm not sure what it was, but it's gone now. Thanks.
