 Sometimes the auto-hidden AWM taskbar can't be unhidden when mousing over it. I have to press the window-key to make it pop up on top. However, once I click back into the program window (i.e., the taskbar is no longer the top-most window), I again can't unhide it with the mouse.

At first, it seemed to do with window maximization, when a window is moved from one monitor to a smaller monitor while maximized via keyboard shortcut WinKey-shift-arrow. However, this doesn't seem to be the case. It has something to do with Cyberfox, as it doesn't happen with other windows:

When I maximize a Cyberfox window, I see the minimized taskbar for 2 seconds, then it completely disappears behind the Cyberfox window. And this only happens on non-primary monitors, so it seems it has something to do with AWM's multi-window taskbars vs. Windows taskbar. Maybe AWM's taskbar override hooks aren't able to pull AWM's secondary-monitor taskbar on top of Cyberfox's window.

I believe this also has to do with why Cyberfox windows can't be manipulated by AWM. For example, the send-to-bottom shortcut doesn't work. There are other programs that had this same issue, but I can't remember which off the top of my head right now.

 Hello Steve,

Thanks for the post.

Are you writing about a maximized window of Cyberfox or about its full-screen mode?
Could you provide us screenshots of Multi-monitor (right click on an taskbar empty place) and Windows taskbar settings?
Could you also specify your version of Cyberfox?

Best regards.

 Yes, a maximized Cyberfox window. However, the release notes show that it appears to have been fixed. Thanks!

 Steph,

Could you confirm that the problem can't be reproducible with the current 8.4 beta 1 version of Actual Window Manager (download link - http://www.actualtools.com/files/aim84b1.exe )?
