Continue to Have Problems with Firefox and Windowblinds

from WinCustomize Forums
I have updated all of the programs involved to the latest version and still seem to get the same problems the title bars disappear upon right click, as well as whenever firefox starts I get a border frame splitting my primary monitor into halves, sometimes quarters dead center with regards to monitor edges. Running Windows XP Pro

In the previous threads people asked for system info from Windowblinds and my system specs so here they are.

Asus A8N32 SLI
Athalon X2 4200+
GSkill 2GB Ram
eVGA Geforce 7600 GT
500 watt Enermax PSU

I've had it disappear every once in a while - couldn't tell if maybe it's a firefox issue (has it's own method of skinning) or a graphics conflict (had WB running with CXP, ODfree, Rainlendar)

Are you running Ultramon or using any third party display control? Seems like one of the older version of the Nvidia desktop controls had issues with Windowblinds.

Probably firefox, I had the same issue then was told by Cavan1 to restore and then maximize the window. It worked and haven't had the problem since! (strange stuff)

Thanks Heigar, unfortunately I've tried that a couple of times and still no luck have had this problem for almost a month now. It seems like the right click in windowblinds is completely screwed up.

Thanks Lantec. not using any third party control software just the latest version of Nvidia's forceware

i use firefox exclusively and have seen none of these problems, are you using an older version of the browser or the latest 2.0.0.3?. are you using a theme or firefox default?. maybe thats the problem. hope you are able to sort it all out, good luck

Nimbin's got a point... usually the issue with FF is jittering (I've never seen it personally) = issue seemed to be related to the bookmarks toolbar... turn it off - all's fine.

I have read earlier posts before of some themes causing issues when run with WB... but it's been a while.

Thanks Nimbim I will look into it. I am using a theme and I have changed it a couple of times looking for one that will work right, no such luck, and I am all updated.

Thanks Bichur you've been a real help with this I appreciate it a lot.
