Dropdown list behind the taskbar

[Former Member]

I noticed today that drop down is shown behind the taskbar, except when the window is of response type :

Not very user-friendly, is there something to do ?

Hi Guillaume;

  Yes,I have seen this behaviour as well the odd time. Its normally not a problem for the application user if they can just drag their application window a little higher. BTW: I can get the same issue with IE or Firefox on various web applications that do this as well.

Suggestion: An easy fix for the application user for PB and other various applications that can be affected like this is to ask the user to set the task-bar into "auto-hide" mode. This easy change seems to alleviate the issue for my clients .....

Hi Chris,

That would probably be our answer if a customer complains.

I think that dropdowns should always be on top, like they are on response windows.

Thanks anyway.

I've run into these screwy UI issues many times.  Price you pay for developing MS Windows apps
