#1605 Password Safe 3.67 - Microsoft Windows - Task View - Problem

[AH]

Windows 10 - Task View (Virtual Desktops)

I know this will not affect many people, but I wanted to post this problem here for anyone else who tries to use Password Safe with Task View. I only ran across the problem because I needed to have a lot of desktop space.

When you use Task View (Virtual Desktop) on MS Windows 10, and bring up Password Safe it will work fine until it does the automatic "Lock password database" function.

It will not show up on any desktop when you select the menu on the taskbar icon. You can see it on the desktop Task View overview, so it is still running but it can not be activated.

I have to use "Task Manager" to end the task to use it again.

I had to turn off the following options for "Lock password database":
On minimize
On workstation lock
After X minutes idle

I know everyone is busy, but I thought it should be at least documented.

I also posted this to the help discussion in case anyone runs across the same problem.

Same problem on Windows 11. Only "kill task" helps. 3.70pre same.

Odd. The closest I can get to reproducing this is to see that the "Enter Master Password" dialog doesn't respect the "windows from this app visible on all desktops" option set in the task view.

Trying some fixes in 3.70, let me know if they make a difference.
