    Windows Start Button Hover Issue


    I'm getting some very strange hover behaviour with the windows start button. When I'm in some programs (Google Chrome, Firefox) if I hover over the start button and then move my mouse off again, it remains highlighted. If I alt tab to a different program the issue stays until I Ctrl+Right Click on the task bar at which point it works as expected. As soon as I make Chrome (for example) my active window again, the same thing happens.

    As I said it only happens with specific applications (So far the only ones I've found are chrome and firefox). Internet explorer doesn't have this effect so it isn't browser-wide.

    It's a weird issue and hard to explain properly so I'll put a link to a video.

    I'm currently using 7+ taskbar tweaker along with Windows 7 Start Orb Changer, but exiting both of those doesn't actually get rid of the problem.

    Thanks in advance, Nick

    Disable both of them then reboot and see what happens.

    Looks like it's 7+ taskbar tweaker that's causing the issue. I messed around with the settings a little while and seems to be a problem with the "disable topmost" setting. I guess I'll just submit a bug report to them. Thanks for the help, can't believe I didn't think to try that myself....
