#183 On 2nd or 3rd minimize to tray program no longer opens/maximize doesn't work

[Anonymous]

Came across this piece of software while looking for new alternative to LANMessenger.

Looks promising, but show stopper bugs;

On second or third minimize to tray, BeeBEEP icon is visible in tray, but no longer can main window be maximized, I have to kill the process from task manager and restart it.

If I first minimize to by pressing "" on window right upper corner, then do couple of right clicks on tray icon, maximize, then press "X" to minimize to tray, I can no longer maximize - > I can reproduce this every time.

Tried to set compatibility modes from shortcut icon, doesn't help. Never had such issues with any tray minimized software on this box.

Specs:
Windows 10 Pro / NVIDIA 960 4GB + Latest driver / 32GB RAM / 21:9 display *

Thank you for the ticket! I will test it on Windows 10 ... stay tuned

Thanks for the quick reply!

I might add (after little bit more testing) that seems like it's either:

A. Minimize by "X" button in BeeBEEP, then bringing it back by clicking tray icon, doing this 2-3 times stops it from working
B. Do a minimize THEN Alt+Tab between some other software, then trying to get BeeBEEP back by clicking system tray icon won't work no longer.

I also tried to disable / kill other software that were running and have icons in system tray, but it didn't make any difference.

Thank you for the details... Tomorrow I will stay at home and I will check on Windows 10 computer...

(Please try also the shortcut CTRL + ALT + B ... it brings back BeeBEEP...)
PS: for maximime you mean Enlarge until desktop size or simply unhide the window?

Hi again.

Yes, I mean that I just want to bring the window back = program is minimized / hidden, then I just try to left or right click tray icon -> right click menu won't open, neither will BeeBEEP pop back to screen where it was before it was hidden.

Also, Ctrl+Alt+B does not work at this stage, should it it work when program is minimized to tray?

[Marco Mastroddi]

Yes... it must works every time... Check the main menu on "Shortcut..." and see if the option "Use shortcut" is enabled...

I'm trying to replicate the bug in my windows 10 machine but i don't (I have upgraded my Qt library and maybe this solves the bug)...

I prepare a "trial" version so you can test it...

Maybe there is another option you have enabled that helps with the bug... maybe it is useful to send me the log of beebeep (View -> Show log -> Log to file). You can find it in the Data folder (in the main menu). Take it when the bug appears. Send me also your beebeep.ini so i can see all the options enabled... (please send it to me by email marco.mastroddi <at> gmail.com).

Thank you very much!
