B2 - Only new slide shows are inactive at start

[Dreamer]

Create a new slide show file (.sld) and double click it (in explorer/file manager, or create a desktop shortcut). The slide show window is inactive (e.g. wheel to navigate is not working), but the old slide shows created with older versions are working.

Use these options if you can't reproduce it.

I can't reproduce on Xp, strange i have not changed slide for beta2

[Dreamer]

Very strange, I can always reproduce it, anyone with Vista there?

[Dreamer]

I'm using option to auto-hide the taskbar and the taskbar is always shown when I start sld file, slide show window is on top, taskbar is in background, but the slide show window is inactive.

OK, I got it! I can always reproduce it with OnTop = 1 , never with OnTop = 0 .

[xnview]

I've tried on vista and can't reproduce

[Dreamer]

Really strange. Still the same in beta 3.

[Dreamer]

Still the same in RC1. Any Vista user there??

[Dreamer]

Still the same in 1.95.

[Dreamer]

Moved to Bug reports.

Any Vista user to confirm this bug?
