Guest Paul Pedersen Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 I use applications that have buttons near the bottom of the screen. If I move the mouse to those buttons and click, the taskbar unexpectedly jumps up and intercepts the click. I assume that Windows thinks it is being helpful, but this is really a pia. How can I turn off this "feature"? "Enhance pointer precision" is off.

You can probably skirt the problem by relocating your taskbar on the TOP of the screen.
Guest Paul Pedersen Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Re: taskbar annoyance But I WANT it to auto-hide. I just don't want it to pop up unless the cursor actually gets over that little bar. "Approaching it" isn't what I want. But thanks anyway.

Thanks, but then I'd have to move the Task Bar around from edge to edge, depending on which application is in the foreground. That's a worse problem than I have now.
