 The searchfield of the taskbar in awm 8.8.1 hides parts of the startmenu. How to avoid?

 Hello, Harald

Could you check whether the problem persists in the latest version 8.8.3?

What is the DPI settings in your system?

What is the resolution of the display?

 Hello Bogdan,

The problem happens only on monitor 2 of 3.

 Do you have any third-party taskbar tweaking software installed?

What toolbars do you have on this taksbar or does it have anything special as compared with other taskbars?

Could you send us the screenshot of your monitors layout from Actual Window Manager confuguration module > Multiple Monitors > Monitors Layout and Settings.

What is the dark stripe on the bottom of the sceen behind the taskbar on the screenshot you've sent?

 Hello Bogdan,

No third-party taskbar tweaking software is installed.

For screenshots of toolbars and monitor layout see email.

The bright stripe in the taskbar is the lower part of an open window on the desktop.

 Harald,

Does the issue depend on how you bring the Start menu: by clicking on the start button or by pressing the Win key?

Could you exit Actual Window Manager and change the height of the system taskbar to the same as the height of AWM taskbar on the monitor 2 and see whether the Start menu on AWM taskbar on the same monitor changes it's position?

 Hello Bogdan,

yes, the issue depends on how you open the startmenu (See image StartMWinKey.jpg).

Yes, the startmenu changes it's position when the height of system taskbar is similar to AWM taskbar (see Image1.jpg).

Both images were sent by email.

 Could you check whether AWM was installed with "Support system utilities and administrative tools". Start AWM, then start regedit.exe (Win+R, the type regedit in the Run window and press enter) and see whether the regedit window is affected by AWM (has extra title buttons and window menu items). If the window is affected then the option is enabled.

Could you also resize the system taskbar to its minimal size, disable the search field on it and see whether it influence the vertical position of the start menu, when you bring it from the AWM taskbar.

 The regedit window is not affected by AWM. It has no extra title bottons.

Yes, the resizing and disabling of the search field has influence to the vertical position of the taskbar.
(see image StartMenu2 -> email)

The image Startmenu3.jpg shows the menu with a three-line system taskbar.

 Could you start AWM in the "Run as administrator mode" (Right click on the AWM icon > Run as administrator) and see whether the issue still persists?
