"Add This Application to the Dock"
Saturday, March 5, 2005 by Azraelian | Discussion: ObjectDock
I have a non-tabbed dock with my running applications to the left of the compulsory separator, and a couple of static entries to the right. When I right click any running application's icon, I get this lovely option to add the program to the dock.
The thing is, if I right click it AGAIN, I get another option. And if I do it AGAIN, I get yet another. Ad nauseam. They don't go away until I close the app I've been right clicking.

Is it something wrong with the internal code of OB+ or is it my system? I don't remember experiencing this with the previous build I used (whose version number I can't recall). I'm now running OB+ v1.11.518u.
If anything, I'd like to see a toggle that would completely remove this option from the right click menu. Friends use my computer every now and then, and I'd hate to have to keep saving my theme often just because it's so easy to wreck it. ; ) The Lock Dragging option helps a ton, but even so I wouldn't at all mind seeing that one moved to the Dock Settings window.
Anyone else encountered this?

Could it be language related? I noticed the characters in your screenshot were not English.

( What's the app you're rightclicking on? )
That's a Miranda (Link) message window. ; )
( Does it happen with any running app or just that one? )
Whenever the bug kicks in (most of the time it works as it's supposed to, but every now and then it goes haywire), it happens with every running application. Even with explorer windows and ObjectDock Settings dialogues. ; / Graciously enough, I haven't been plagued by this particular bug in a day or two now, so maybe it sorted itself out.
( Could it be language related? I noticed the characters in your screenshot were not English. )
I'm running a Swedish Window XP installation, yes. This could be a factor, but considering how it works fine most of the time it seems decreasingly likely. =/

So am I and I don't that behaviour - sorry it's not much help but at least you know it's not supposed to work that way.
