[Workaround found] Phantom Thunderbird "Compose" window left behind

July 18, 2008 6:01:46 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums
Hi,

I haven't tracked down the exact circumstances for this or whether it is caused by WindowsBlinds or WindowFX yet (or a combination of both).
I often get a phantom Compose window left behind after I send an email from Thunderbird.  The window appears to close but if I minimize Thunderbird (from maximized state) there will be this window frame hanging about which cannot be closed and whose contents just copies what was previously on top of it.

System Specs:

WindowsBlinds Version: 6.10b[b].146
WindowFX Version: 3.09[a].008

OS: Win XP MCE SP2, CPU: Core 2 Duo E6700
MB: ASUS P5W DH Deluxe, GPU: 2 x ATI X1950XTX 512Mb
SPU: X-Fi Xtreme Gamer, RAM: 4Gb 900Mhz Dual Channel
HDD: 2 x 500Gb SATA, Mouse: Razer DeathAdder
ISP: Pipex 8Mb Max, ADSL Router

As a starting point turn off WindowFX and see what happens.

Thanks - but it doesn't help.
I'm wondering now if it is Stardock Virtual Desktops that is doing it - seems to happen more (or only not sure yet) when I switch desktops.

Now trying to figure out how to turn OFF SVD

Got it - locking Thunderbird to a specific Virtual Desktop causes this.
YOU can move it to another desktop and it works fine - as soon as you lock it there is leaves these phantom windows lying around.

Workaround found.
