WindowFX forces app window into uber-mini mode when restored…
...and other issues.

Is it just me or is the "search" feature in these forums hard to find? Is there one? Am I blind?
Anyhow, a few issues…
Issue 1:
When running WindowFX 2.11 open windows occasionally restore to a tiny window, tiny being only the control buttons, and that’s it. Example: I’ll have Internet Explorer, Notepad, Stardock Central, and WinRar open in cascade fashion. I’ll minimize Internet Explorer and Notepad and look around in Stardock Central. I’ll then click the minimized app on the taskbar and it’ll restore, but after it restores to its original size it’ll quickly resize itself to this uber-mini version of the window, where only the minimize, maximize, and close buttons are visible. At this point I resize the window and continue computing. It happens to pretty much any window but not every single time I restore it from the taskbar.
Issue 1a:
As an add-on to the above issue: When running along with ObjectDock I can minimize/restore via a dock that is set up mimic the Windows taskbar and after a few times all of ObjectDock will crash.
Issue 2:
When running ObjectDock I often lose the group feature when several apps are grouped up on one of ObjectDocks "running programs" bar. Example: Set up a dock to show running tasks on the dock and to also group running tasks. After the computer runs overnight the next day it seems that the little pop-up for grouped tasks fails to pop up. Restarting ObjectDock fixes this, but it generally comes back.
The mini-window issue was tested and repro’s on several machines btw.
If these issues didn’t exist I’d run my desktop with the ObjectDock / WindowFX combo 100% of the time. As it stands now though it’s pretty much used for eye candy because these issues are somewhat counter productive.
Thanks for any help with this!
