Forums -> UltraMon™ -> Issue with UltraMon 3.2.1 in VM
Eric   2012-08-22 00:24
I upgraded to 3.2.1 but I am now working in a VM environment and applications often disappear from the taskbar. I can still switch to them with alt-tab but they are not visible in the taskbar. If I bring an app to the front it does reappear in the taskbar.

I don't know if the problem is new to 3.2.1 because prior to upgrading I used Ultramon on my laptop instead of in the VM

I use the smart taskbar in standard mode. I think that toggling between standard and mirror mode brings all applications back. I'll try it again next time an application disappears.

Have you noticed anything which seems to cause the issue, for example launching a specific application, etc?

The problem occurs when I disconnect and reconnect to the VM. I haven't noticed anything else causing it yet.

Toggling the smart taskbar mirror mode on then off again brings them all back. They don't all disappear but I am looking for a pattern. I am not certain but I think it happens only to applications that were on the secondary monitor but not all of them.

What's your setup, for example RDP to the VM? If I have access to the software you're using I'll try to reproduce the issue.

I have using the latest Citrix Receiver (3.2.0.x). We work in a Cloud environment.

Thank you for your help.

I can't test with Citrix, what I could do is create a test version of UltraMonTaskbar.exe which logs session connect/disconnect and display configuration-related information to try to determine what might be going wrong.
