Not here.....

Why is it when someone screws up their Windows 7 system and it starts acting buggy they jump into the nearest forum and blast Windows 7 as 'BUGGY'......

Get down off your high horse.

Just because you have not had the issue, doesn't mean it's not real!

I have had this issue too. But it disappeared after a graphics driver update.

So... This is a driver bug and not a Windows 7 bug. Win7 may not be perfect, but place blame where it should be.

I wonder if it may be a resolution issue since there doesn't seem to be any connection tied with brand or drivers... I tested this with my systems that are running Windows 7, here are the results:

One of my desktops using Windows 7

evga Geforce GTX 260 Core 216 SC @ 1920x1200 = Effected :(

HP elitebook #1 Windows 7

Quadro FX1800 @ 1680x1050 = No issues :)

HP elitebook #2 Windows 7

Quadro FX1800 @ 1920x1200 = Effected :(

The two 1920x1200 are effected whereas the other one isn't. I would test further but my other systems are running Vista.

Can anyone else confirm with resolution results?

edit: using 190.62 nvidia drivers. Also just a note; the issue did NOT turn up right away with the elitebook #2 - it took a few tries to recreate it.

Not the case here...

I USE to have this issue (use to as in a few weeks ago when I first reinstalled W7) but as of this moment on my 4890 Toxic running 9.8 Catalyst drivers @ 1920x1200 I do not have this issue.

I have the same issue but it only happens when I move the picture to my second monitor and then back to my main monitor. My main monitor is 1920x1080 and the second is 1680x1050.

I also have an issue where the color border outside the picture when it is maximized is not white its more a beige. When I move it to the second monitor it goes back to white.

So far this is the only 'annoyance' I have had with Windows 7.

Ok, it wasn't doing it last night, but its doing it today......definitely some weird issue. I have noticed it happens on mostly 1920x1200 and it seems to happen on both nVidia and ATI cards so I doubt its a driver specific issue.

It also appears to be slightly random, for me at least, didn't happen last night but its happening today.
