Win 7 64 problems

When WB is enabled highlighting text in both Outlook and Word using only the keyboard is pretty BAD as in you don't get highlighting. Selecting text left to right does not highlight the first letter and highlighting right to left highlights nothing! I've tried several themes all with the same results. Unloading WB fixes problem.

I have similar issues. It seems like theyre not tested on 64-bit systems. Some work, some don't.

What version of word ? I don't use outlook so can't test here. I tested in Microsoft Word 2010 and it works for me (I use Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit).

Also what version of Windowblinds ?

@roflmfaoo: of course, it's about WindowBlinds 7. The 6th version doesn't work on W7 x64

@teodorescumihail2008,

I meant what revision version, e.g: 7.3 (build 310 x64). This is the latest version.

My apologies for not specifying.

I haven't been able to reproduce this. In WindowBlinds, select 'About WindowBlinds' at the top, then the 'Copy to Clipboard' button and paste the results here. Do you have any other theme or customization software running? Is there anything else that might be interacting with Windows on that level?
