Hi,

I was wondering if anyone experienced this bug in the Win7 Taskbar:

After a few days of working with the system, the highlight on mouse over does not fade away when the mouse leaves the taskbar, instead, it stays "stuck".

For example, if you have a few apps open, and you hover over each one, each Taskbar button will shine in its own gradient colour, and when your remove the mouse from the taskbar, the highlight is gone and the button is back to normal. But with this bug, the the last task you hovered on stays highlighted even though the mouse left the Taskbar area.

Has anyone experienced this?

Think I might've had this happen once with Windows Live Messenger, but other than that it's been fine.

Nope.. never experienced this.. check your video card/drivers/LCD etc.. maybe your drivers stop responding for a while and then kick in.. just a suggestion..

I've had this happen to me once, I didn't think it was a big deal personally, looked kinda nice. (Y)

Hmm, it's possible that WLM is causing this... I've just killed it and the problem disappeared.

Edit: nope, it's back.

Yea, I get this too. It's really annoying. The taskbar previews get stuck too sometimes.

Had this a couple of times. Just log off and on and it goes away.

If I remember well it used to happen with Vista too... I've seen it but not very often.

I have this issue sometimes on my netbook (Samsung NC10, Intel Atom N270 with Intel GMA950, latest drivers from Windows Update) but never on any of the other machines I'm running 7 on (two laptops with Intel GMA X3100, one PCs with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285 and one PC with ATI Radeon HD4850...

What kind of graphicscard do you have?
