Were these Windows 7 bugs fixed in Windows 8?

[gate1975mlm]

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!

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

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

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 :(

The other bug, when you kill an app in the taskmanger sometimes it doesn't refresh the icon list next to the clock. You have to hover the icon for the icon to go away.

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 :)

this still happens ;)

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.

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

[gate1975mlm]

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.

Thanks you for conforming

Does sit also happen in Windoes 8?

Yeah, only tried bug 2.

This bug should be reported to Microsoft.

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.

Not exactly like my issue but in the same area.

Nope, don't get anything like that.

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.
