Fences: Icons overlapping radom openings of StartMenu folder with keystrokes

from Stardock Forums

I just installed the "new" update for Fences and now everything is a mess. When i hold down ctrl+scroll wheel to resize my icons it some how opens up 2 Start Menu\Programs folders. Same thing also happens with i press ctrl+v

Also I have my windows task bar on the top set Not to be on top of the other windows. 2 icons will overlap each other at the top of my desktop if not fenced in. If I set the task bar to be always on top then i dont have this issue. But this was never an issue with the previous Fences.

I'm seeing something similar.  If I lock my desktop, pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del then Enter, when I unlock the desktop I have 2 or more Start Menu/Programs folders open.

Ditto here!  I JUST re-downloaded Fences Yesterday. 

This is a show-stopper for me. I know it seems petty, but to me it's unacceptable.

Wow.  Crazy bug.

Passing it along to the dev.  The joys of beta software, eh?

I get the same as well, but my manager who installed it at the same time doesn't. I often get 4 or more Program folders open after unlocking my computer, which often then crashed explorer. If I uninstall fences everything returns to normal straight away (don't need to restart or anything). Any news yet from "the Dev"?

The same. Two windows with Start Menu folder is opened when I hold down Ctrl for about second or more. Most often those windows appear during copy-paste operations. It is not always reproduced. Annoying bug.

This is a known bug.  Updates should be out soon to address it.
