16385 still has a taskbar higlight glitch

[vask]

dude, thats not a glitch, that means the program is running

it has done that on every version ive installed since RC 7100

No, the running program is indicated by the square around the icon (which in my picture happens to be internet explorer), dude.

Give it time and it will probably happen to you as well. It took 2 days of running this build before it showed up. In all my previous testing of all the leaked builds it showed up no more than 10 times. I also can't force it to happen like some have suggested with quick movements, nor can I make it go away doing that. Only a restart seems to clear it.

Happens to me now and then in RC it's silly but annoying.

I was using 7100 as my main OS ever since its release until a few days ago, and I haven't seen this happen once. I have recently started using 7600 on both and still this issue doesn't prevail. I am using the X64 edition, I don't know if this bug only happens in one or the other but I have never seen it, and I use my computer heavily

You could have missed it. It isn't totally obvious if you don't pay attention. Just look out for it from now on and see if it materializes.

I've had it happen on both my desktop and laptop, desktop had it happen on both 32 and 64bit installs. The bug appears at random and the glitch stays for ages until it randomly fixes itself (or you log off / reboot).

Trust me, if I had seen it, I would have noticed it, I have a pretty strong eye for details like that, and I use my taskbar a lot.

Hmph. I hope this isn't RTM either. Still seems to be quite a few bugs scattered here and there. Kinda annoying and lazy on Microsoft's part, IMHO.

[Pikey]

I've never seen it here, but I do use 'Auto-hide' all the time!

Never seen that on any build I've used.

Currently using build 7600 (RTM leaked) anot seeing it now.d n

[pheonix_007]

I'm getting it every time on 7100.

Little bugs like this annoy me.

[null_]

I haven't seen this issue on 7100 or either of the 7600 leaked builds.

[zhangm Supervisor]

I've seen this issue after prolonged use on 7000 and 7100. Restarting Explorer fixes it, but I have no idea how it comes about.

[escape.artist]

this has never happened to me on any build, like someone said it might be a driver problem or something ?

and saying it's lazy and annoying on MS's behalf, the OS isn't officially released, if you dont want little problems like this then dont use pre-RTM builds since there will be bugs like this.

[.tony]

I thought I was the only one with this problem. I'm running 7100.

I hope they fix this, it's only a minor thing but it does kinda bug me.

Edit: Also thought I'd add, for me whenever this problem occurs, I lose the thumbnail previews of the taskbar. Anybody experiencing this too?

yes it happens with me also on 7100 x64 as well in various other builds. the solution is to exit or kill explorer.exe & then restart it from task manager. it fixes it up. i thought microsoft would have fixed it by RTM.

[fhpuqrgrpgvirzhpujbj]

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.

My thoughts exactly, which was kind of the point of this thread. 7600 16385 (very possibly the rtm build) and the bug is still there. I don't remember seeing this many visual/ui functionality bugs in vista rtm. Most problems with vista related to raw drivers. This problem is unlikely to be driver related as it is not something that is constantly present nor does it occur frequently (or so it seems for the time being) and appears to be unrelated to specific system config.

[Argi]

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.

[Septimus]

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

Definitely not. Happens on my vaio tt (4500mhd, alps trackpad), also happened on my other desktops which are ati/nvidia graphics and microsoft mice.

[Pharos]

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.
