View Full Version : QCD4.11: minor bug: 'docking to hidden taskbar edge'

Hi ;)

When I drag QCD around the desktop, it's clearly docking to something that isn't present/visible.

If the taskbar is on the left or right (and auto-hidden), whilst dragging QCD around, it docks 'n' pixels from that edge of the screen,

where:
n = <taskbar width> - <horizontal distance of point P from QCD's vertical edge closest to the taskbar>
point P = the point where the mouse is held down in QCD's client when dragging the window.

Hope that's clear.. :)

Otherwise, 'nice ;)' - I'm extremely fond of QCD, (although I'd like to be able to resize the playlist.. </whine>)

right click on player,then preferences,then display settings on the right side should be snap to windows at,set that to zero and see if that helps.

I've noticed this same problem too, and Heigar's fix doesn't help. I keep my taskbar autohidden at the top, and I can't move QCD (Tubular skin, runt mode) all the way too the top. It stops around 15 pixels from the top of the screen, but it doesn't always stop at the *exact* same spot, vertically.

does the same on my system, i have the startbar showing and at the bottom and it seems to hit like a virtual barrier and won't go right to the bottom.. wierd

normal behavior on my pc's. the resize bar on the taskbar is the barrier regardless of taskbar position (top, bottom, left or right), and also regardless of taskbar set to 'auto-hide'.

then again, I run winddowFX to get exact window positioning and mouse-wrap to make edges NOT act as a barrier.
