TC 8.0 x64 wrong redrawn after mount new truecrypt disk

Post by *bugmenot2 »

Hi

first let me say sorry I'm posting this from the "bugmenot" account, but your system didn't allow to register me with gmail account and I don't have any other mail box and don't want to create some new just for reporting one bug.

And now the bug report :)
When I minimize Total Commander to tray, mount new TrueCrypt disk as USB device and then restore Total Commander back then the GUI is not properly redrawn in disk area (same after dismounting disk). See screenshot here:

The black color is from my desktop background.
I'm running Win7 SP1 x64 with win2k classic theme and windows Themes service turned off. Tried it only with Total Commander x64, but maybe it's the same with 32bit version.

Another example of a semi-transparent drive bar. I wonder if there is a common trigger. However, I haven't managed to reproduce it yet.

Unfortunately I couldn't reproduce it either. :(

I did some tests and it happened only time to time on my system after many tries. Then I tried it under XP in virtual machine with 32bit Total Commander and couldn't reproduce it there. But it's just a minor graphics bug, nothing really important for me.

I could reproduce it now on XP 64-bit in Vmware too!
1. Turn off the theme service in Control panel - Administration - Services
2. Maximize TC (important!)
3. Minimize TC
4. Insert or remove flash drive
5. Restore TC.

It's a 64-bit problem only. TC already refreshes the drive panel when restoring, but the additional maximizing step is causing the problem.

Using your steps, I could reproduce it in TC 8 but not in TC 8.01 rc3.

Since there was no reply for almost a month, I will move this to fixed bugs.
