Bizarre SharpBar behavior and crash

Reported by: glacialfury Assigned to: Billiberserker
Priority: normal Milestone:
Component: SharpBar Version: 0.7
Keywords: RESOLVED Cc:

Description

Setup: I have two SharpBars?, one on each monitor. I wanted to close the SharpBar? on my secondary monitor.

1) Clicked "Exit" from the main throbber. Received an access violation at 00000001, no other information given.

2) Clicked ok on that; another SharpBar? access violation in module 'SystemTray.dll'. During this time, an empty sharpbar was displayed with no plugins. After clicking that, the sharpbar exited.

3) In attempt to see if I could restore the bar that I closed, I clicked on the main throbber of my primary (and only remaining) SharpBar?. Bar Management->Create Empty SharpBar?. By default, creates a tiny bar in the center-top of primary display.

At this point, the "main" SharpBar? seems to go crazy - constantly flashing, near impossible to click on it. It obscured the other (much smaller) bar.

4) Finally found the new little guy, and was unsuccessful in my attempt to grab the throbber and move it to the bottom of the display. I did manage to get the menu open and exit the new SharpBar?; when it exited, the primary SharpBar? stopped flashing but was left with a skin/graphical error (see attached). Clicking on the main throbber does not restore the skin.

Here's the interesting part: I mentioned in another issue that the bar flickers when being repainted; well, it doesn't anymore - it's not being repainted. Creating new tasks does not change the display at all, and anything that caused it to flicker (repaint) before, no longer causes it to flicker. Not exactly how I'd hoped to fix that problem ;-)

Mouseovers and clicking on buttons still works and updates correctly. Scmd still highlights correctly when the textbox is hovered or active. I can still drag plugins around.

I tried to reproduce this, but no success - my three other attempts to close the second bar, with the same steps, worked appropriately.

I *have* gotten the flickering/flashing SharpBar? to reproduce.

Setup: Bar is on top and fullscreen. Issue: When I create a new SharpBar? from that top/fullscreen bar, it overlays the new one on itself, and flashes like crazy. Moving the new SharpBar? via its menu or deleting it stops the original bar from flashing.

Second Attempt: It appears this happens no matter where I create the new bar from. Creating an empty sharpbar from the bar on my secondary monitor places the new bar top/center on my primary monitor. Flashing occurs until moved/deleted as described above.
