BUG: Show Entry Names on mouseover

ObjectDock Plus

Friday, February 20, 2009 by bpantalone | Discussion: ObjectDock

Using the latest version of ObjectDock Plus, I have the following issue.  Under "Dock Settings, Size & Appearance" the setting for Entry Names is "Show on mouseover."  When ObjectDock is first started, this works as expected.  However, after running for a few hours, ObjectDock stops showing text above the icons.  The settings page still indicates "Show on mouseover."  If I unload ObjectDock and restart it, the text labels are displayed once again.

Although this sounds like a minor issue, the whole point of ObjectDock is to shave seconds off my access to programs.  Having to guess which icon represents which program -- and eventually giving up and restarting ObjectDock -- negates all the saved time.

Please advise whether this is a known issue, and whether a new version will be available to correct the bug.

I am running Windows XP Service Pack 3 with up-to-date patches.

Thank you,

Brett Pantalone

I've not seen that before.

It sounds like a video driver issue to me though.  Are you current?

Yes.  I am using the latest drivers (6.14.10.5029 released January 21, 2009) for my Intel G33/G31 Express graphics hardware.  Not the greatest video hardware, I know, but it's never given me any problems.
