em3 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 (edited) I found a bug too. Jumplists doesn't use cleartype. Makes the text look a little blurry. If you don't see it, zoom in. Tried to upload an image but it didn't work for some reason. :p Edited January 11, 2009 by em3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPero Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Bug I found. Jumplists doesn't use cleartype. Makes the text look a little blurry. If you don't see it, zoom in. its worse than that...My guesses are theyre using WPF text rendering in some parts of the UI. Jumplists being an example. Look also at the window titles...just ugly.

jakem1 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Can't confirm that here. It does matter whether I snap WMP or Explorer first they both only take up 50% of the screen. Were you running any media that could have had an impact (an usual codec, etc)?However, I have a video that will cause WMP to flick rapidly before playing - very irritating. I have no idea why it happens. Everything is just a vanilla install really at the moment. I haven't installed any additional codecs and the only thing running at the time was media player building its library (BTW why is it necessary for WMP to build its own library seperately from the main Windows Music library?). I'll try to reproduce this problem and post back if it was just a one-off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakem1 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 OK, the attached image shows you what WMP looks like side-by-side another app (in this case Firefox). As you can see the WMP window on the right overlaps the right hand side of the Firefox window so you can't see the Close, Minimise or Maximise buttons in FF. This seems to happen everytime but is only a problem with WMP. As I said in my previous post, this is a fairly vanilla Windows 7 install with no additional codecs installed. WMP isn't doing anything special either - I just opened it and pinned it to the right hand side of the screen. Note that I could have pinned it to the left and side of the screen and the same thing happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lels Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Hm. Seems like this happens when firefox is open but i dunno. Seems like the superbar and min/max buttons are unresponsive for a min or so..but then goes back to normal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like the superbar and min/max buttons are unresponsive for a min or so..but then goes back to normal... No it's not related to Firefox as I installed that after first encountering the problem. As I mentioned earlier, it's the combination of wmp and any other app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoomyBoy Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 After I installed Windows 7 I plugged in my eternal hard disc. A window popped up saying "Scan And Fix The Problems On This Eternal Hard Disc" I clicked "Yes" and it started scanning and fixing. Suddenly, my computer slowed down. I didn't know what was happening at first so I ran Windows Task Manager to see memory usage and I was shocked. Windows Explorer were using 1.4GB RAM! That is about 85% of my computer's RAM. So I got a screen shot of it and sent a feedback with a picture. I didn't know what was wrong. I kept waiting and waiting because I didnt wanna restart the computer till the scan finished. An hour later, the scan finished and that window closed itself. I was going to close my computer but suddenly my computer got really fast so I decided to check RAM usage again. I was shocked once again! The RAM usage dropped to 15MB from 1.4GB! I've never seen such a memory leak before. It was a huge bug that bothered me. Here's the pic when RAM usage hits the peak.

jakem1 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Another bug. Gadgets snap to the side of the screen as if the sidebar is there. However, when you try to position a gadget between two others it just sits on top of the other two rather than slotting in between. In other words, the other two gadgets don't make way for the new one as was the case in Vista. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing the developers are catering for XP's shortcomings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimate Guitarist Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Your problem there is that you have the windows the wrong way round, swap them and see magic! (WMP on the left, any other app on the right) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakem1 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Well, there's no denying that you have a problem there. Unfortunately, I can't recreate that here. Cool. Thanks for checking. I submitted this to Microsoft so they can look into it. @ Ultimate Guitarist: It happens regardless of the side WMP goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raikou Tch Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I use a two-line taskbar, and the bottom of it overlaps part of the preview pane. The start menu works as it should with no overlap, so this seems like a bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ienhz Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Anyone have bugs with Firefox and WLM 2009? If I have no open messenger/contact list windows and I minimize Firefox, for some reason the contact list pops up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamwhoiam Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 My only issue(s) so far... Any game I run assigns my USB headset as my primary audio device and uses that instead of my sound card. Also, my sound card is set to primary audio device and my headset is set to primary playback device. I can't change this. All sounds work through the external speakers until a game is ran.

pasztor.laszlo Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 New bug (at least for me): I can't remove safely my USB stick. The menu doesn't appear when I click the icon in the system tray. In the first few days it worked, now it doesn't work. I didn't install anything on it since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScorpioRGc1 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Just curious, do you usually go through the "safely remove" procedure when removing a USB device? I don't do it with my camera or my MP3 player, personally. As long as the MP3 player says its safe to disconnect, thats good enough for me. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
