I have a couple of minor problems:

Repro steps:

- I access my work PC (which has 2 monitors + Ultramon) from home using remote desktop
- I come back into work and unlock the machine

Behaviour:
- The secondary taskbar stops working
- It works again when I turn off, then back on 'Show Tasks from Monitor 2'.

Expected behaviour
- The secondary taskbar immediately starts working agin

Also the Visual Studio.NET documentation taskbar item always appears on the primary taskbar, even when I am displaying the documentation on the secondary monitor.

Thanks!

Thanks for your bug report, I have seen the same behavior on my system. I'll try to include a fix in Beta 7.

The problem with the VS.NET documentation is something I'm working on for Beta 7, the problem is that for some applications UltraMon currently can't determine the monitor they're on. BTW, happens with VS.NET itself as well.

Thanks ... one more very minor item ... if I maxmise a Windows XP Remote Desktop session on my primary monitor, it displays on top of the Windows task bar. If I maximise a sesion on my secondary monitor, then the UltraMon task bar stays on top of the Remote Desktop window, so I can't access the task bar of the remote machine.

Thanks for your help - I'm looking forward to Beta 7!

Can you reproduce this consistently? Works fine on my system, with a fullscreen remote desktop window active the UltraMon taskbar is hidden, when you switch to a different window it pops up. This is with always on top, not autohidden.

Yes, it does happen consistently.

I have 2 monitors, with the standard tasbar on the primary monitor and UltraMon on the secondary monitor. The Ultramon bar has 'Always on Top' turned on and 'Auto Hide' turned off. If I have a maxmised Remote Desktop Connection on the secondary monitor the UltraMon task bar stays on top.

Thanks!

It's actually just stopped happening - I'm sure it was still happening a couple of minutes ago, and I'm still in the same session .... very strange!
