Start Menu on RHS of screen bug

[Anthony Abrami]

Hi,

I've been trying out AntiSpyware for over a month now.
Very impressed. One niggling thing however that doesn't
seem to have been picked up on to date is that when you
have your start menu on the right hand side of the screen
the blue and green 'alerts' don't seem to have an anchor
point and just float upwards (too rapidly to be able to
press a button on the blue boxes) and off the screen.
Shortly later, they float back down (again to fast to
use).

The only fix I've found is to move the Start Menu back to
the bottom of the screen, re-try the application that
caused the blue box (eg: a WHS I wrote). Now I can
respond to the blue box. After responding, I can place
the start menu back on the RHS where I like it.

Just thought I should point this out given that no one
else seems to have (ie: bug has been about for over a
month).

The system this happens on is:
Dell Inspiron 8500 running WinXPSP1.

Kind regards,
Ant

Thanks for the report.

This is actually very frequently reported in these groups. It has been with
us since the start of the beta, but is definitely being fixed--we just
haven't had the opportunity to see a build with the fix in place.

It happens with vertical taskbars, and doesn't happen with horizontal
taskbars. If you can figure out how to manage a diagonal taskbar, I'll be
very interested to hear what the effect on the alerts will be!
