Some bad maximize/minimize behavior with WB 7 and Win 7 Starter.
Friday, February 12, 2010 by LittleBearJason | Discussion: WindowBlinds
MS Paint is really acting up in the latest release of WB , when I start the program, and then maximize the window, it feels like someone is holding down a turbo button on a game pad, and it rapidly goes through maximize, minimize , maximize minimize, it wont stop and I cant get control of it to force a closure of the program, I have to force the computer to shut down with the power button, and then reboot. Excluding this app is not working either. Ive noticed similar behavior in the Windows Blinds 7 interface itself when maximizing as well.

This will sound silly but if you are using your mouse to change from Min to Max, check your mouse setting an or if you have another mouse swap it out and see what happens.
Are you on a laptop? If so, maybe something to do with the pad?

I just tried an alternative to paint called Paint.Net thinking the original MS Paint is designed weird and its happening with this program as well.

I have tried to reproduce this on a machine with the DWM disabled and I cannot.
What version does WB show in the About box and have you tried rebooting?
