 Salut

I've posted my specs on another post, the issue is that when using an autohide on taskbar, the start button stays on screen after the taskbar is hidden
if you flash the cursor over it it will disappear
once it disappears , when the taskbar is shwon, the start button is missing
If you move the cursor over the place where the start button should be, it will appear.

(note i'm using the stretched start button, haven't checked for regular)

 I am also having start button issues and am also using stretched start button.  It seems to happen after the computer resumes fr om monitor off or screen saver.  The start button becomes unclickable or is hidden, and often the entire start bar at the bottom is unresponsive.  I am NOT using a 3D screen saver that changes resolution or anything.  I did not have this problem in the prior full release, only when upgrading to this beta.  

Also, this build seems to be lagging my system a bit.  I'm getting random soft locks, wh  the mouse won't move and the system is unresponsive, for like 1/2 second to 1 second at a time.  When I exit actual they stop happening.  I'm guessing it's some sort of screen poll?  

Using the latest beta of AWM - 6.7b1.  Windows XP SP3, fully up to date.  3 Monitors, Left to Right, they are 800x600, 1680x1050, and 1152x864.   The Middle monitor is primary.  I have a task bar on both secondary monitors, but NO start button on them.

 Hello gentelmen,

Thanks for the post.

Unfortunately, we can't reproduce the problem.

Could you give me a step-by-step description of how to reproduce it?
We can't fix bugs that we can't reproduce.

Best regards.

 Hello Razvan,

Have you noticed what steps cause the problem appearing?

Best regards.

 Well, I think its 100%

I'm using Win7 x86.

2 independent taskbars on the right. Wehn I make one autohide, the start button will not hide.

EG:
on the left monitor:

When I go over the button with my mouse, it disappears from that screen, and moves to the right monitor.
If then I go with my cursor over that start button, again, it disappears and shows in the initial place
(note the taskbar stays hidden)

 Hello Razvan.

All i can reproduce is this situation:
Two taskbars (primary - system taskbar, secondary - AWM taskbar), both set to autohide.

Clicking on the start button of the secondary taskbar brings both taskbars, but the start button disappears from the primary and is absent, while start menu on the secondary is open.

Could you please send your configuration files again?

Best regards.

 Hello Razvan.

Does the problem still persist? Have you tried the latest versions?

Best regards.
