Where when you hover over a taskbar icon and them move the mouse away the highlight stays (btw this glitch happens at random, happened after 2 days of testing the build):

Updated: To include the other picture in original post

Notice where the pointer is and that the highlight over media player remains as if the mouse is hovering over that icon:

I'm really not sure if that's a bug. It just seems like it's there as intended. It even does the same thing to active application in the taskbar. Hover the mouse over it, it highlights, and still stays highlighted even if you move it away. If I recall, it's been reported since Beta, and seems that it's meant to work that way.

No, this is definitely not how it's intended. Normally if you move away, the highlight disappears (as it should). However this broken behaviour does randomly pop up, happened once after 2 days of running 16385. Needs restart to make it go away. Also, it happens without warning, nothing crashed before it did that.

The problem is you said it happens at "random", which makes any sort of debugging difficult. If you can find a specific set of steps to replicate the bug then it's more likely to be fixed sooner.

Gotta be your PC. No issues here on three different computers.

As I said, it happens infrequently and seemingly at random. I have seen this bug reported since beta and have experienced it myself a number of times in older builds. Just surprised it is still there in this build.

Happens for me too. You have to hover you mouse over an icon, and then move it off really fast. I'm using build 7201.

Okay. THAT happens. Moving the mouse fast enough away does take away the highlighting, but moving it away slow enough, will definitely keep any task bar item highlighted.

I've had this happen too. I've also in every build I've used had some taskbar flickering with the icons also flashing.

Both only happened once a few hours after the installation and seemingly solved itself so it is in't too much of a problem for me.

It happens here too on 7600.16385 x64 and 7100 x64. Just slowly hovering and quickly moving the cursor causes it to show up as if it were hovered on. I'll try to put up a video later on.

Are you talking about this?

That and the 2 vertical lines which represent hover state of the icon which under normal behaviour disappears after you move away the mouse pointer from the taskbar. Whereas, during the glitch the icon remains highlighted even when the pointer is no longer hovering over that icon.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update by Taras Buria Today, Playground Games released a big Forza Horizon 6 update with a long list of fixes, patches, and balancing tweaks that the studio promised earlier. Version 375.327 is now available on Steam, Microsoft Store, and Xbox, offering users improvements for AI, audio, design, performance, road discovery, upgrades, visuals, online play, and more. Some of the most notable changes in the Series 2 update include rebalanced drivatars, particularly their difficulty and race start behavior. As such, the game should be more balanced on higher difficulty levels, and AI cars should not shoot out when the race starts as if they have rocket boosters. Speaking of difficulty, developers nerfed Drag Tires physics for a more expected and realistic behavior. They are no longer the go-to option for record-breaking times in road racing, and all leaderboard entries with drag tires will be removed. Completionists will also be glad to get a new feature that lets you see road discovery percentage in each region, which should make discovering all roads easier while keeping it quite challenging and interesting (I spent quite a long time finding the last road). Festival Playlist is also getting some much-needed fixes, including patches for bugs that allowed completing Seasonal Jobs ahead of time or where weekly challenges would not unlock for some players. Developers will retroactively give reward points to all who could not complete all challenges due to these bugs. Other changes include changes to Horizon Play progression so that it is easier to reach Level 100, audio improvements on lower-spec devices, fixes for visual glitches, including pixelated smoke, and more. Developers also addressed the currently non-working Eliminator, an online mode gamers used to farm credits with a Hummer EV exploit. Playground Games plans to re-enable it soon. As a gesture of goodwill, players will get a free McLaren Sabre. Those who used the exploit will not be banned, but developers plan to roll back credits to a maximum of 10M for all who farmed credits using the exploit. You can find the complete changelog for the latest Forza Horizon 6 update here.
