BUG: Logos4 does not allow Auto-hide Win7 task bar to show when L4 is active window

I remember this bug from the beta days and it was fixed then, but I'm getting it again. I noticed it when I switched Logos4 from my secondary monitor to my primary, so I don't know how long this has been going on.

I'm currently using L4 SR-7 on this machine. Win7 has all it's updates.

Here are my full system specs:

Dell Studio XPS 435MT; Win7 64bit Home Premium; 6GB DDR3 RAM; 465GB free HD space on C:\; CPU: Intel i7-920 2.67GHz (8MB L3 cache); Video ATI Radeon HD 4850 (512MB).

Huh.

Now the autohide bar pops up again with L4 as the active window.

(Don't you just love intermittent problems?)

I am on 32-bit Windows 7 and my auto-hide with L4 open and active has always worked. I am running the same releaase as you are.

Thanks Mick

Now it's back to the old behavior again (not letting the Win7 auto-hide taskbar pop up on hover, when the L4 window is active).

And now it's working again (but the top line is black).

So I minimized and maximized and the black bar went away but now the auto-hide not working again.

Then I made it less then full screen and initially had a problem with autohide not unhiding, switched to another program, then back, autohide popped up as expected. Then I maximized and get the dreaded black bar (but the autohide thing is working). Then I minimized and maximized. Black bar goes away and autohide doesn't unhide on mouse over.

Looks like I can do that consistently. I either have the black bar and autohide working, or I have the standard Win7 border (with the minimize, windowed and exit buttons visible), but the autohide doesn't work. Sometimes after a while I can have both the standard bar and the autohide unhiding properly. But then after a while the black bar seems to return.

Richard, I'm just posting to let you know you're not alone in this. It happens to me from time to time as well. I haven't noticed a pattern yet.
