Forums -> UltraMon™ -> Smart Taskbar problem
Doug   2002-10-31 20:05
Using 3 monitors in a 2-1-3 config in windows 2000. Smart taskbar is enabled for monitors 2 and 3 showing their own tasks only.

If I have Mirc open on monitor 3 and then minimize it to the systray, then maximize again (by clicking on the systray icon), the task shows up on the taskbar for monitor 2, but the window opens in monitor 3. The task button works normally, allowing right click functions etc. If I right click on the task and select 'move to monitor...', monitor 3 is already selected.

This also happens if I minimize it from monitor 1 (the task shows up on monitor 2). It behaves as it should if I minimize from monitor 2(task and window show up on monitor 2).

Dragging the window to another monitor places the task in the correct window again.

The same behavior occured with another program, WinBNC. The similarities are that neither program leaves a task on the taskbar when they are minimized to the tray.

Nothing major, its just a bit of a nuisance.

Thanks for the bug report. The problem has been fixed, an update is available:

Windows 98/Me: umexehook_w9x_rc2.1.zip
Windows 2000/XP: umexehook_wnt_rc2.1.zip

To install the update, close UltraMon, then extract the ZIP to your UltraMon directory, usually C:\Program Files\UltraMon.

Please let me know if it fixes the problem with both programs, I have only tested with mIRC.
