Default Couple of small bugs


The first one is if you left click (while the scan is running) on one of the
spyware threats to get the bubble description, if the description is to big
for the bubble, it just cuts off, rather than expanding the bubble or having
an indication that there is more text.

The second one is a bit harder to figure out what happened, it's a z-order
problem of some kind, when the scan finishes and the summary window pops up,
it popped up as a background window and I was unable to activate the window.
(so I couldn't click on the button to continue). I had to cycle through
several windows before I was able to activate the summary window.

On a second scan, this didn't happen, but it did steal the focus from the
active window, but it did not pop up in front. I *really* would prefer it
not to steal the focus, but if it must, it should pop up in front.

Windows XP Pro, SP2, no other beta stuff, Nvidia GFORCE4 video, always lots
of app windows open.

If you dont want it to steal focus, try using Tweak UI, a
Windows Power toy to keep applications from stealing
focus.

Default Re: Couple of small bugs

However, another of the power toy series--the alt-tab replacement, causes a
problem with Microsoft antispyware--so exercise some caution with these.
(and darned if I can remember the precise nature of the issue it
causes--gotta start keeping a database of notes of some sort.)
