[0.9.4] Unstable Internet connection can result in crashes #238

Open MrJozroz opened 4 years ago

MrJozroz commented 4 years ago

If the network is unstable (say the public network on a train), the applet sometimes causes a crash. I suspect it may be causing explorer.exe to crash as the Windows Taskbar restarts, but fails to reload toolbars. This includes Audio-band and others (in my case my Lenovo Vantage Toolbar). After the taskbar reloads, I'm left with a new window that always appears when the crash occurs called "Deskband host for wpf". Clicking on it does not actually open the window and the preview shows it as being empty so I am unsure of what it is (see attached image).

Checked common issues

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Have Audioband running (perhaps with another toolbar)
  2. Connect to a network that drops in and out of of connection
  3. Wait

Expected behavior

  1. The Windows Taskbar crashes
  2. After restarting, all toolbars will be set to off
  3. A new window called Deskband host for wpf will have appeared. It does not seem to appear in Task Manager.
