#95 Taekwindow "deactivates" after a while
After a while, Taekwindow seems to stop responding to any events until I click the tray icon four times (slowly, to avoid double-clicking). The icon states are color (click) color (click) color (click) grey (click) color. A few hours after this (or cycling Taekwindow) I need to do it again.
I've has the bug for a long while already, and can't remember if it was introduced by installing Win7 or by updating Taekwindow, I'll try to roll back to a previous version when I've got time. If you know any other way I could poke the bug around, I'd be pleased to.
This is a known issue (to me) and I think I know what causes it; thanks for putting it on the list! The problem should be reduced or solved in the next version. Unfortunately, I can't make any promises when this will be, since I'm very busy at the moment.
Technical note: This is caused by Windows 7 being very aggressive about window hooks. If a program spends too much time in a hook, it gets silently unhooked without any notification. The only solution (as far as I know) is to push as much work out of the hook procedure as possible, which is exactly what the next release will be doing (albeit for other reasons).
Hi,
I was wondering what the current status on this matter is. Have you made some progress?
No, sorry. I know the solution and got halfway through implementing it, but I'm really short on time right now :( It will be in the next release for sure, but I can't promise when that will be.
