Major bug found with sp1

[will]

After installing vista sp1 standalone service pack I've noticed that the
"status bar" along the bottom of internet explorer and "windows mail" is
hidden by the taskbar when these apps are maximised

 

[will]

Yes it is set to be on top ,the checkbox "Keep the taskbar on top of other
windows " is checked unchecking it only puts maximised windows over the
taskbar which I don't want.

After installing sp1 maximised windows actually have the bottom portion
covered by the taskbar if there's no fix for this I will actually seriously
considder uninstalling sp1

I must have the stand alone version of SP1 without that bug, both show
the statuse bar here.

When you maximise other windows is the task bar "On Top"? Or is it just
the 2 you mentioned?

You might want to uncheck "keep Taskbar ontop of other windows" open IE
see what changed then recheck "Keep taskbar ontop of other windows" and
see if that might have toggled a change. Or maybe even a
Autohide taskbar setting try to toggle that one as well.

Problem solved for now
I had auto hide the taskbar enabled as a temporary workaround then I
rebooted and disabled auto hide and so far it's working fine after a few
reboots

To clarify: are talking about Maximized (box next the the X) or Gull Screen
(F11)?

 

[will]

that was happening with a maximised window not F11 fullscreen

I don't have the problem that Will, has but I did notice that after
installing SP1, my 2 monitors were swapped. It was no problem switching
them back.

Will,

I know some things right after the install of SP1 didn't seem right. A
good friend of mine has a dual monitor setup and after the first boot of
SP1, it didn't recognize or use the dual monitor setup. After a reboot
and some adjustments, the dual monitors are working just fine. I'd say,
reboot and see how things proceed from there. I've been using SP1 since
it was beta without any issues. Hopefully your situation will be self
correcting.

Working just fine here

I have a slight variation of this issue - since installing SP1 the task-bar
autohide isnt working properly. If I set autohide on/hit apply, the taskbar
hides. The 1st time I move the cursor to bottom the taskbar reappears. BUT
when I move the cursor off the taskbar it stays visible - just a wee bit
irritating. Suggestions?

Thanks!

Yeah, get used to having the taskbar visable all the time, if you want to
use it.
