Caleb Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Hi, I was wondering if anyone experienced this bug in the Win7 Taskbar: After a few days of working with the system, the highlight on mouse over does not fade away when the mouse leaves the taskbar, instead, it stays "stuck". For example, if you have a few apps open, and you hover over each one, each Taskbar button will shine in its own gradient colour, and when your remove the mouse from the taskbar, the highlight is gone and the button is back to normal. But with this bug, the the last task you hovered on stays highlighted even though the mouse left the Taskbar area. Has anyone experienced this?

asim0 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Think I might've had this happen once with Windows Live Messenger, but other than that it's been fine.

Kralik Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Nope.. never experienced this.. check your video card/drivers/LCD etc.. maybe your drivers stop responding for a while and then kick in.. just a suggestion..

Caleb Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 Hmm, it's possible that WLM is causing this... I've just killed it and the problem disappeared. Edit: nope, it's back.

JK_MoTs Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 I have this issue sometimes on my netbook (Samsung NC10, Intel Atom N270 with Intel GMA950, latest drivers from Windows Update) but never on any of the other machines I'm running 7 on (two laptops with Intel GMA X3100, one PCs with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285 and one PC with ATI Radeon HD4850...

Mike Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Whenever it happens, shift + right click on entry on the taskbar (so the old context menu comes up) and then click elsewhere so the menu closes and the hover effect will correct itself. foxx1337 and Jaex 2 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/823100-windows-7-taskbar-bug/#findComment-591571784 Share on other sites More sharing options...

roleee Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Hi, first of all sorry for my bad english. I don't know is this a bug, I just found it. So my taskbar's height is 2 units, and I can see both the date and time. But in November, I only see the time: I tried to fix it with killing and restarting explorer.exe, even restarting the computer too, but nothing happens. Also tried with other months, the problem is only with this month (November). Has anyone got an idea to fix it?

Salty Wagyu Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 I had Google Chrome not appear on my taskbar once, it wasn't until I randomly checked Applications tab in task manager that I had it running still from yesterday, so I clicked "switch to" and it appeared back on the taskbar.
