3 Bugs: Recent Applications, unwanted links, and buggy Charms Bar option

I want to report 3 bugs in the latest version of Start8 (1.11 beta)

1) When I disable the Charms Bar, in the 1.11 version, finally is again possible to drag the desktop as a Windows 8 app, and then use the Snapped view correctly.

However, when i put the mouse pointer in the top RIGHT corner, the "little hand" that appears in the top 4 pixels of Desktop, used to drag it as a Windows 8 app, doesn't apper. Only the mouse pointer is shown (as it used to happen in the 1.10 version of Start8).

Indeed, when I put the mouse pointer in the top LEFT corner, the hand is shown again.

 

2) When I pin a program from Start8 to Windows 8 Start, another link to the same program is automatically created even in Start8.

3) When I start a full screen game (such as Age of Empires, e.g.), when I close it and reopen Start, all the recent applications are cancelled.

However, closing and reopening Start8 make all the recent programs appear again.

A similar, little problem occurs when opening a Metro App: it is shown among Recent Applications only opening, closing and re-opening again Start8.

 

I know there is a work in progress for the beta version of Start8, so I hope to see some of this bugs solved in the definitive new release!
