Servelius Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I might have a bug to report.When i open the start menu and for example find Notepad on the list of recently used applications, there is a little arrow to the right of it, when you hover over that the Start menu its extending a little to the right and when the animations are extending it, it appears chunky/laggy.But when its retracting again, it seems pretty smooth.Anyone else experiencing this?You mean JUMPLIST = the area to the right, correct?

On my oldest machine it bogs down. On all others it's fine. My guess is, video drivers will vary. Kind of like that whole WPF window sizing issue that plagues a lot of older video cards.

Vlad2989 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 This is not really a bug but an observation, when typing text in the search bar of start menu it appears grey and not black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the search results pane does not grow outside the right column of the menu. Just an observation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leo Natan Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 (edited) A bug I noticed, from time to time, the hot corners manage to slip through. Most of the time they are disabled, but from time to time, the top left corner displays the metro switcher, and bottom left displays the start.Also, I notice, when disabling the top screen edge (drag to "close" desktop), the desktop icons flicker.Sorry if already mentioned.

UTC Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I just found this site.. I have been searching hard for fix to ditch W8 metro..I have/had W7 and dearly missed the old start menu.The Metro Window is just unsuitable for PC interface. I have already tried many other fixes and start programs, but this one of yours (beta3) is by far the best.. Put me on your "Final Build" list and i will happily pay for it.UTC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
