When the taskbar is set to "group similar taskbar buttons" in the properties dialogue, moving grouped taskbar buttons or the buttons around them causes unexpected behaviour.

Effectively the contents of the group change in each position, so 2 firefox windows (title: "2 Firefox") might become 2 Firefox windows and a notepad window (title: "3 Firefox")

I should also say that this is a fantastic app and I would gladly turn off taskbar button groups to make it work as intended! Not having email in button #1 spot plays on my brain so you are helping maintain my sanity!

Thanks

    Does it happen every time groups are moved?

    I'll offer a clarification to this bug, as I have experienced it myself.

    With the "Group similar task buttons" option checked, and at least one grouped task button:

    1) Moving a singular task button (only one app window) across the grouped task button will add that app to the group IF the singular button is placed next to the grouped button. If you keep moving the singular button, the issue corrects itself.

    2) Moving a grouped task button seems to cause the grouped button to pick up whichever applications are closest and to DROP the original applications that were grouped from the list (causing a few processes/applications that are not represented on the task bar).

    If you want, I can put some screenshots together. Email me if you want them.
