Guest Sal Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 When I right-click a notification area icon to bring up a context menu, many times when I'm finished a portion of the menu is left behind until some other image or window overwrites the area in which it previously appeared. What could be causing this?

What could be causing this? Video card, probably? Has this just started happening? Or has it been there right along? More details are really needed. If it just started, what change happened just before it started? Etc.?

What could be causing this? We really need more information... Such as when did you notice it doing this? Do you remember installing any new programs? -- Regards, Dustin Cook, Author of BugHunter BugHunter - http://bughunter.it-mate.co.uk MalwareBytes - http://www.malwarebytes.org

I also noticed that even though I have the "Hide inactive icons" box checked, and all my icons are marked "Hide when inactive" the little << arrow never shows up and inactive icons are never hidden.

More information: I had the Apache Server icon marked as "Always show". When I changed it to "Hide when inactive" the little < arrow now works properly and inactive icons are hidden. But all the time the Apache icon was marked "Always show", none of the other icons were ever hidden and the arrow never appeared. I don't know if having the Apache icon hidden when inactive will solve the problem, but it seems to be working now OK.
