Forums -> UltraMon™ -> Outlook 2007 and Description Balloons in Taskbar

Two issues:

1. On the current release (not beta), in Outlook 2007 the ultramon arrow icon to move the window to another monitor is not visible in an Outlook email MESSAGE window (it is visible in the main Outlook 2007 program interface). The arrow icon also appears and disappears when I open a calendar appointment and move my mouse near it.

2. In the taskbar, the mouseover description balloon for icons in the tray becomes hidden behind the taskbar so I can't read it. This might not be a ultramon issue as it doesn't affect ultramon performance or features but it seemed to become an issue after installing ultramon.
Thanks,
Bruce

1) This issue was fixed in the 3.0 beta, you can download the latest release here.

2) I'm not sure what would cause this, but don't think that this is related to UltraMon. I've seen this as well occasionally, but if I remember correctly both with and without UltraMon running. To test this further, check if you still have the problem without UltraMon running or installed.

Hey Christian. I am running version 3.0.2 (3.0 Beta 2.1) and I too find that the Outlook 2007 message window lacks the "move to other monitor" option.
I am also running Vista 32-bit if that matters.

Dennis, do you mean the option on the menu you get when right-clicking the window's title bar?

Well, this is strange. I found that when I opened an Outlook 2007 message, the "move to other monitor" and "expand window to full both screens" buttons were not displayed in the upper right corner.
I just tried it again and as I moved my cursor across the area in the title bar and clicked, they magically appeared! There after, whenever I opened a message, these two buttons were displayed along with the other three (minimize, restore and close).
I then shut Outlook down and restarted it (just the app, not the computer). Sure enough, when I opened any message, the two buttons were not displayed until I clicked on the message's title bar.
Looks like on my machine, it is a simple display problem i.e. the two buttons are not displayed until I move the message window, forcing the refresh.
By the way, the main Outlook window displays all 5 buttons with no problems.
And the right click menus DO contain the two options so it is just the button display that is a problem (and a pretty minor one at that).

You could also check if the buttons appear if you move/resize the window. If yes, the issue should be fixed in the next release.
