It is an issue in Windows 7, at least with default settings. As mentioned in the grantparent post, if you have a default taskbar setup (at the bottom, no autohide) you can very easily drag a window below the taskbar (because the taskbar is larger than the entire window titlebar), which might as well be off the screen because the zorder of the taskbar is greater than that of the window, so you can't interact with the window via the mouse until you move the taskbar or set it to auto-hide.
- dmn001 15y agoI just tried with the taskbar on the bottom, and I could not drag the mouse cursor below the top edge of the taskbar.
- georgemcbay 15y agoThat's odd, because I've got 3 different Windows 7 installs here and every one of them allows me to drag the mouse cursor below the top edge of the taskbar while dragging a window. I'm not suggesting you're wrong here, just that I've never seen the behavior you're seeing and I use Windows 7 frequently. Perhaps you have some option set that I do not.
- cookingrobot 15y agoYou can only drag into the taskbar area if you have multiple monitors. On a single monitor setup it captures the mouse and prevents this issue.
- georgemcbay 15y agoMy setups are all multi-monitor so I guess that's the issue? Thanks for the info.
