Application goes grey
This has occurred hundreds of times since I have been using Windows 7 - both home and at work on 4 separate computers.
Every once in a while when in a window (whether it be a browser window or ftp or some other application) the whole window will go gray. Sometimes it comes back and sometimes (as this morning) it didn't come back (was in a telnet emulator window).
Nothing in the event logs.
These forums appear to have some application-specific questions from over a year ago with no difinitive answers other than the usual - upgrade the graphics drivers, etc...
I'm guessing there is a new feature with Windows 7 that turns the window grey under certain circumstances. Any ideas what that new feature is and what it means? It may help others who have been seeing this behavior.
Windows 7 may be detecting a communication problem and "freezing" the window so the user doesn't do too much "damage".
Thanks.
