Can't replicate that at all and never seen it. GFX driver or mouse driver issue?

It's not that easy to see and as we've established it's impossible to just replicate with any precision. I was actually going to make a thread about this as it happened to me for the first time after a few months on build 7068.

With the amount of people reporting it I doubt it's any specific driver. This looks quite obviously like a bug in the OS if you ask me.

I'm not that impressed that it will most likely still be in the RTM. Around the time that it happened I also noticed a lot more taskbar preview windows getting "stuck" after you move the mouse away from them as well as the tooltip for an inactive taskbar icon sticking in the same way the highlighter does. Do any of you running the RTM-ish builds get these symptoms too with this bug?

Happened to me once or twice before 7264 builds. After that though, never had any more of these bugs and I'm using Windows 7 exclusively. What is your graphics card and what driver are you running? Make sure it is an updated one and not the one included in the build.

It is not graphics card specific for me. Saw it on all my systems (intel/ati/nvidia) at least once. Though only runnning build 7600 16385 on my notebook for now and it happened in just the same way as on older builds. So, naturally I expect all my other systems to still have this bug in this build.

i think lot of people are facing his bug & it definitely is not a driver issue. the problem is that this issue occurs randomly & is non reproducible what ever we do to reccur it. it is with taskbar itself i believe coz the problem goes away at restart of explorer.

It happened to me once in three months (taskbar thumbnail previews dissapears too). But the problem it's gone if I open a program with middle click, on IE for example. Also if I unlock and lock again the taskbar or killing the explorer process.

My graphics card is an ATI Radeon 9600 and the drivers are the same from the Windows 7 DVD so I doubt it's a drivers bug.

How can they call this build golden code when obviously it is flawed, when they failed to remedy this obvious error what other serious flaws have they overlooked.
It's not uncommon for minor bugs to be pushed back to later updates when the development focus is on getting blockers fixed for release.

Only un-confirmed sources are calling it the finished article though .. let's wait for Microsoft for the real thing.

its not a bug

attached above is my taskbar as currently running with "The bug" as some of you put it;

Opera is the currently selected window (On main display)

Outlook is minimised

RDC Is running on another monitor (I am running extended desktop display and RDC exclusively has that monitor to itself)

WLM Is running minimised.

So as you all can see, there is no bug as such. As i see it, the only thing that can be causing this is programs to not be closing down correctly so the system thinks they are still running in background.

Your taskbar is NOT showing the bug. All your programs are running and minimised or focused.

On our screenshots, there are running programs, focused programs and programs that look as if the mouse was still hovering them. The ones with the mouse hovering ARE the bug.

What you wrote has nothing to do with the bug people are experiencing.

It's happened to me a few times. It really bugs me. It seems to fix itself if you change your taskbar icon size to small then set it back.

Yeah, that is why they call it a bug in the first place. :laugh:

This happened once in a while in some of the earlier leaked builds, but have not seen it once in 7600-16385. Never really figured out how to replicate the bug, but it seems like it might only happen when your computer is crawling and doing a lot of work. Could be graphics related. Hard to say but it seem fixed by now.

Why are you guys hovering over icons on your taskbar if you are not going to do anything other then stop hovering over them?

I?m am going to take a wild guess and say 99,9% of windows 7 users will ever notice this bug without being told about it and they trying to reproduce it

In fact, this bug can cause quite a bit of confusion to regular users. When the highlight sticks and does not disappear and you have some programs open and others not, you end up with 3 permanent states for the icons (when you should only have 2, ie. open/closed). So instead of having to distinguish between open program icon and regular icon you now get some weird highlighed icon that just stays there.

My point being that this bug happens when you hover over an icon and then leave it with out doing something, that never happens, you hover over it to do something (open,close, checkt status etc.)

No... the bug happens randomly, you launch something from the taskbar, and then move the mouse away but the taskbar will randomly think the mouse is still hovering over the taskbar and have the relevant 'mouse over' effect on one of the taskbar items.

The bug is when the hover ( j. edgar hoover ) semi bulb appeares even if the icon is not under mouse hovering that moment. It happened to me too ,but after a restart , it was ok . I did not see the problem on build 7260-xx64 - 7600 . it was on the post RC builds

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.3 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display.
