Lord Ba'al Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 (edited) So here's a new thread where you can list all the bugs found in 7106, the bugs finally fixed in 7106 and other changes you find noteworthy :) Windows Colour Picker bug - not fixed You aren't able to enter more than two digits in the text boxes for Hue/Sat/Lum or R/G/B. This has not been fixed, same bug as already in 7068. Windows Sat bug - partially fixed Aero graphics score went up from 5.9 to 6.8, but still not the full 7.9. Drive letter assignment change Win7 7106 kept the drive letters as they are in my other Win7 install, rather than jumbling them around and making itself C:. Some nice imagery, provided by me :cool: 1. Desktop w/ start menu - new Tiananmen wp by me, nice red colour, and I changed the user pic to Confucius :laugh: 2. System Properties 3.

Lord Ba'al Posted April 16, 2009 Author Share Posted April 16, 2009 that's a nice background. sweet looking building It's on the Tiananmen place in Beijing. I edited the pic somewhat to remove the water hose that was lying in the grass, replace the grey sky with a nice sky blue and give it better colours :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xJakex Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Ctrl + Shift + F9 works, it didn't in 7057, 7068, and 7077. It enables and disables aero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panda X Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 So here's a new thread where you can list all the bugs found in 7106, the bugs finally fixed in 7106 and other changes you find noteworthy :)Windows Colour Picker bug - fixed in 7106 You weren't able to enter more than two digits in the text boxes. This has been fixed. Windows Sat bug - partially fixed Aero graphics score went up from 5.9 to 6.8, but still not the full 7.9. Drive letter assignment change 1.) Never had it not work. 2.) Maybe your GPU isn't 7.9 worthy. 3.) It'll keep it if you install Windows within Windows. If it's boot into WinPE it'll C:\ it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ba'al Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share Posted April 17, 2009 2.) Maybe your GPU isn't 7.9 worthy. A 4870? Yeah right :rofl: You get a 7.9 in Aero Graphics with a *lot* less already. In all builds until 7057 it properly displayed 7.9 there, but then WinSat went on the fritz, and it nosedived to 5.9 and stayed there. 7106 has it partially recover to 6.8, but not fully.

Lord Ba'al Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share Posted April 17, 2009 If a 4870 gets 7.9, what do you expect the 4870x2 and the gtx 295 to get? :s It's just Aero Graphics, that is how well the desktop is rendered. Getting a 7.9 is realtively easy there, as long as you don't have some onboard vga crap. Don't confuse it with the one below, Game Graphics. A 4870 gets 6.8 there (consistently), and a 4870x2 will get more there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s1k3sT Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Anyone have a punkbuster fix yet :p Dual Boot :D I was going to do a vista / 7 dual boot, but ended up using two 7's (7000 and 7077). That is because punkbuster worked fine for me on cod4 and 5 on build 7000, but none of the later builds. :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ba'al Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share Posted April 17, 2009 Oh so it works in Beta 1..... hm. Probably more than just build-related. There are various PB fixes going around on the net, of which some work for some people while they don't work for others. I'd say there's more to it.

Flaggie Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 it works in build 7057 x64 edition...i don't know about 32 bit although (however, it should also work there) It also works here on build 7068 x86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ba'al Posted April 18, 2009 Author Share Posted April 18, 2009 Windows Explorer folder tree bug: partially fixed When the folder tree on the left is long enough (scrollbar appears) and you click on the little white triangle to the left of a folder to expand it, that folder jumps to the bottom of the folder tree. This doesn't happen with any folder anymore, but it still happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ba'al Posted April 18, 2009 Author Share Posted April 18, 2009 Task Manager Performance History bug: fixed On the performance tab of the Task manager, if you double click on the Cpu Usage History, it now properly maximises, and also properly minimises again with another double-click, without any graphics bugs.

Lord Ba'al Posted April 19, 2009 Author Share Posted April 19, 2009 Update: Windows Colour Picker bug - not fixed You aren't able to enter more than two digits in the text boxes for Hue/Sat/Lum or R/G/B. This has not been fixed, same bug as already in 7068. I've tried the Windows Colour Picker again today and found the same bug as already in 7068. I've tried it in several applications which make use of it, and also in Windows' own Personalisation. All exposed the same erratic behaviour :crazy: I've then rebooted, and the bug still persists in *all* applications that make use of the Windows colour picker, including Windows' own Personalisation :x While a few applications offer Colour Pickers of their own, most don't, so it's very annoying that it's broken :crazy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdood Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 I can't reproduce your color dialog bug in any version of Windows 7. What exactly do you mean it won't let you enter more than two digits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ba'al Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 I can't reproduce your color dialog bug in any version of Windows 7. What exactly do you mean it won't let you enter more than two digits? The bug appeared in 7068 and is still there in 7106. For example, right-click on Desktop > Personalise, and from there Window Colour > Advanced. Click on a colour, then select "Other" from the colour drop down. Now you have the Windows Colour Picker. Take a look at the six text boxes in the lower right corner. Pick one (e.g. "Hue"), empty it, then try to type a three-digit number in it (e.g. 111). You can't enter more than two digits, then it blocks. Same goes for any applications that use the Windows Colour Picker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdood Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Yes, that is the color dialog box (from the common dialog library), and it works as it should here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ba'al Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 Yes, that is the color dialog box (from the common dialog library), and it works as it should here. Are you using build 7106 x64? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdood Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 No, but I can't reproduce it in 7068. Does it happen with a default install with nothing extra installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ba'al Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 No Then install 7106 x64, and you'll see what I mean. but I can't reproduce it in 7068. Does it happen with a default install with nothing extra installed? In 7068, I first noticed the bug when I tried using the Colour Picker from within an application. I then found that it was broken in all other apps that used it as well. Didn't try Windows Personalise though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
