Bug: Start button > All Programs scroll bar glitch

Large grey box obscuring half of the All Programs list

from Stardock Forums

I've just noticed a bug with Start8 v1.02 on my Windows 8 Pro 64-bit install.

Basically, I've been scrolling up and down the All Programs list with my mouse wheel so haven't noticed this glitch until now. If I hold down the button in the bar with the left-mouse button and move the mouse up or down to scroll through the list then a large grey box appears and obscures half of the list! This does not happen if I mouse wheel scroll up and down the list.

Here's a screenshot:

This glitch does disappear if I scroll up (or down) so it goes offscreen. If I scroll back down (or up) then it is gone and I can then scroll up and down without the glitch. If I close the Start menu and then open All Programs again then the glitch comes back until I again move it offscreen. I tried enabling and disabling the Transparency option but it makes no difference.

I'm using 2 x NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 in SLI with the v306.97 WHQL drivers if that is any help?

Just an update on this... I've just checked the menu scrolling with the bar/mouse button this morning and the grey box glitch seems to have gone, at least for this session, so if this is a bug or an issue specific to my machine then it is random and not replicable. The only thing I did was re-enable Transparency in the Start8 Configurator earlier on when I was fiddling around the settings.

We have tried on a couple of machine and cannot reproduce this.  It sounds like a repaint glitch, could be a random thing, could be a video driver thing, or may be some hidden bug in Start8.

Let us know if it shows up again.
