Bug! Objects "slip" down window!

from JoeUser Forums
I have just purchased and installed Desktop (2.40.035). I have played around with the supplied themes and added various Objects and Widgets which seems to work just fine.

I have my Windows Taskbar positioned at the top of the desktop. Each time I restart Windows (XP Pro SP2) all the objects slip further down the desktop....after a few restarts they can disappear off the bottom! This "slipping" also occurs if I switch between a Locking and un locking the Windows Taskbar.

With the Taskbar at the bottom this "slipping" does not occur. Is this a new bug? Any chance it will be fixed as I can't use Desktop X unless I go back to having the Taskbar at the bottom. I'd have hoped it was a bit more flexible!

Yeah, its a bug, but I'm not sure whether the programmers know about it. You should probably email [email protected]

I wonder if it would help if you would decrease the Workarea on top, leaving, lets say 70 pixels for the Taskbar? You can do that in DesktopX configuration > Theme.

It might not change anything, but it is always worth a try.

Thanks aufisch. I did notice that setting and played around with it, but doesn't seem to fix the problem Was worth a try though.

I have the same issue with my objects slipping.. a fun and entertaining thing to do is keep restarting desktop x and watch as your objects slip off the bottom of the screen..
