Were these Windows 7 bugs fixed in Windows 8?


Recommended Posts

For those of you who are running Windows 8 can you tell me if these 2 bugs in Windows 7 were fixed in Windows 8?

(Bug 1) The Red X button under Device Manager hardware list flickers

(Bug 2) When you drag a window like Windows explorer to the right the UI near the top right corner starts to tear off.

Hmmm... never got any of these in W7 myself, much less in W8!

Its there you just are not looking in the right plase :)

Those bug don't exists in 7, your Windows installation is probably messed up (sounds like bad gpu drivers to me).

Not true

I know because when I went to Best buy everyone of there computers does it too.

Bug 1: even tho I've never experienced it in Windows 7, it's not present in the WDP

Bug 2: I don't understand :(

EDIT:

Bug 1: Ah, I just found out what you're talking about. Yes, the problem is still present in WDP.

still don't get Bug 2, tho :(

Not having any of these issues with Windows 7 64bit SP1.

Like I'd trust Best Buy to keep their display computer updated with the latest patches and drivers :)

I think these bugs may be unique to you only.

Like I have an iPod 4, and when I installed iOS5, some features in Opera Mini browser stop working. And no else got this problem with the same hardware and software.

And also when I go to Spotlight search, it always gets stuck for a moment. Unique to me.

And and on Windows 7, I got this strange bug that whenever I turned on my PC, IE9 opened automatically. I have two other PCs, and this issue happened to with only this one.

Though after 4 days, this "useful" bug stopped showing up.

So this problem may only be unique to you and some other people, and it may also be temporary, like in my case. :)

I will upload a video :)

Thanks. That'll be helpful. :)

@FMH, the first bug (at least) isn't unique to him. If you go into device manager then right-click on one of the things on the list then properties, then hover your cursor over the red X button and watch really carefully and the X button kind of gets selected and unselected once every few seconds.

It happens to me in IE9 sometimes.

Bug 2 does not show up very wel on the video I made so I will not upload it.

However if you open My Computer window and starting dragging the window from the border moving your mouse to the right you should see what looks like the window tearing off a little bit.

It reallty hard to explain.

Yeah bug 1 exists in Windows 7, it is old news. You people didn't try it before responding...

Thanks you for conforming

Does sit also happen in Windoes 8?

video of "bug 2" here :

Bug 2 he talks about is minor, nothing like in that video, at least for me, the only place I see some tearing is by the explorer search bar and the command bar under it, nothing drastic like in that video, but on the other hand that video is pretty outdated already.

Yes the tearing near the search bar is what I mean :)

Not a "BUG" I I would say is a feature--

The Shadow of the mouse is what you are seeing and if you turn that off in the effects the "BUG" will disappear.

If you notice there is a highlight under your mouse before you "mouse over" the close "X" which follows you to the Close "X"

The same effect can also be seen if you mouse over the start menu orb where it highlights itself to show it can be selected.

In earlier Windows such as XP that effect was called mouse spotlight.

It is not selecting and deselecting anything but showing you it is a click-able item.

    • I was using searxng for about a year , self hosted, but results were starting to timeout and eventually it became unusable so I switched to degoog. Much better for my needs, more polished and add-ons like maps and calculations etc

    • Hello, I am not as familiar with AMD CPUs as I am with Intel's, but as I understand it, that's a mid-range CPU from about three years ago.  I would think it to be fine for everyday casual-type use.  A larger SSD might be better, but with storage prices these days that's a decision that has to be carefully thought about.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.5 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display.
