Problem happens on clean install of program. Can be fixed if i restart notifier but goes back like that after 5 mins

In order to take a guess at this one, I'll need full system specs

I can't tell if that's a Windows Basic theme you're running, or if you're running with glass. But maybe that has something to do with the anomaly. I can't reproduce it here on my 64 bit box (nor my 32 bit) so I'm not sure what to tell you. Another guy was experiencing a similar thing with a window appearing in the center of the screen, but his system was jacked and after he reinstalled everything was fine. I'm not suggesting you reinstall windows to fix GNP :) But since this is the first time this particular issue has been reported I'll have to chalk it up to an issue locally.

The theme is the normal windows theme with glass/aero enabled

OK here's how to reproduce it. Since I use the laptop when I'm done with it I close the lid and it goes to 'sleep' mode.

This error can be reproduced on a normal PC if you set to sleep and turn it back on

Wow. That's weird. I'll see if I can reproduce it at some point this week.

any luck with this m8?

sentix commented 12 years ago

This problem is also happening on my PC which doesn't sleep. So the problem is not only as I explained

shellscape commented 12 years ago

I haven't been able to reproduce it here on three different machines. I threw in some code which may or may not fix it, but that's all I can do.
