Auto-hidden windows toolbar

by Rob_S » Thu Dec 02, 2021 1:27 pm

I am sure I mentioned this in a previous post some time back, and I believe it was acknowledged at the time, but for some reason I can't find the posts, and it is still happening in RC1

When my auto-hidden windows toolbar is covered by full-screen MM5, it will not display (pop up) when the cursor is moved over top of it. Mine happens to be top-of-screen, but bottom does not appear either.

This always worked correctly in MM4

That is an accurate description. MM5 does cover the taskbar when in auto-hide mode.
If the taskbar is set to auto-hide (my normal setting), for any other app, moving the mouse to the bottom of the screen shows the taskbar.
When MM5 is the active window, that does not happen.

Is instead maybe the problem that MediaMonkey covers the Windows Taskbar when it's set to auto-hide?

Disabling UAC made no difference. MM5 still camps out on top, hogging focus. No access to taskbar unless I Alt-Tab out of the program or press the Windows key.

Yes, it does generate a UAC confirmation prompt.
I will temporarily disable that globally first, and if that works, I can configure Windows to skip the UAC just for MM5.
I already have UAC disabled for MM4 on the same PC (not because of the always on top issue).
I will test this today and let you know how it works

Hi,
I checked and MM have no option to put itself in windows Always on top apps list.

Are you sure that MM is not started under elevated access (UAC prompt on start usually points to that) as that way MM windows is handled as priority in Windows.

Ctrl + Space bar has no effect

Hi,
While MM is active Window try press Ctrl + Spacebar and see if that clears it?

Standard Windows 10 Home x64 build 19043.1110
Standard desktop. No virtual desktops.
Also, as I stated earlier, this occurs on both my desktop, and a second PC (an Asus laptop).
I'm not frustrated; I'm willing to respond to single questions.
