Failing to access Windows taskbar
-
When working on my PC, I prefer to have the Windows taskbar set to "Automatically hide the taskbar" on Windows 10. I am however experiencing an annoying occurrence when using VectorStyler: I cannot access the Windows taskbar.
Note that none of the applications that I have on my PC exhibit this behaviour. Feels like a bug.

@William-Kansepa Yes, it could be a bug. I added it to the backlog.
-
@William-Kansepa This issue persists in windows 11 also. I was thinking about raising this issue.
-
I am also experiencing this problem but my taskbar setting is 'Always visible'. Additionally, when I switch to another application and go back to VS, a gray frame appears around the window. You have to maximize the window for it to disappear.
-
@encart Same here. appeared I dont know after pressing some keys on the keyboard.

Yes, I am also noticing this grey frame since yesterday. Using VS 1.1.017.
It appears to be some regression. -
@William-Kansepa This will get fixed ASAP!
-
Aha, I thought it was me again, with this issue and panels disappearing when alt tabbing between apps.
-
@Gremriel I'm trying to replicate the taskbar issue on Windows, but could not so far.
Are the panels reappear when VS is focused? -
@vectoradmin I will try to take a more in-depth look at the panels today, I didn't have much time to test things out when I noticed the panels issue.

I believe Google Chrome had this problem once in Windows. Wasn't popular.
I see the problem on two very different Windows 10 computers. Task bar (configured to auto hide) pops up in all programs, also programs running in full screen mode, when mouse button is lovered to the bottom of the screen.
VS however runs in exclusive full screen, moving the mouse button to the bottom of the screen doesn't result in the taskbar popping up. Switching to other programs I see the task bar auto showing again, returning to VS = taskbar doesn't pop up.
With horrific colors because of no support for my wide gamut monitor profile (also a VS exclusive) I only run VS on macOS though
-
Ok, so far I can't replicate the disappearing panels, but I do get that grey border when VS is not maximized. I have no problems with the taskbar, though.
-
@Gremriel I got the grey border, and the autohide taskbar is not shown when maximized. Working on a solution.
-
People are mentioning panels disappearing. I don't know if this is related because I'm on a mac, but the color panel keeps going away - I open it and use it and when I restart VS or make a new document, it does not carry over, I have to reopen it again.
-
@Boldline When I said panels disappearing, I meant it more like parts of a panel were gone until I moved them around again, so more a glitch than a panel actual disappearing.
-
@William-Kansepa I uploaded a fix for the taskbar issues with VS.
Please use "Help - Check for Updates" (Windows only) to update for the new version. -

I can confirm that the issues are now sorted out. Thank you. -
@vectoradmin From what I can see the fix worked.
Aside from that. I have an update bug if there are any documents open in the program.
- I search for an update using 'Check for updates'
- the update is downloaded
- a popup appears about saving or closing the file without saving.
- I choose 'Don't save'
- VS freezes and I need to restart it.
After rebooting, the update process works fine.
It happened in previous builds as well.MacBook Air M4 24Gb, Tahoe 26.2

@encart I reported that a few days ago.
