Unread post by Aviation » 2019-08-30, 10:26

Palemoon's taskbar tabs are sometimes unresponsive.. .

Sometimes they open flashing once, in other times, flashing twice, & in other times, i won't move from a window to another one..

i'm using 7+ taskbar tweaker, but never hd any issues under windows 7 or 8 x82..

I haven't had any issues with Pale Moon in the taskbar on Windows 7 or 10, but I don't use a taskbar tweaker. Have you tried disabling that to see if the problem goes away?

I'm assuming it's an external program. You should just be able to exit/disable it?

unfortunately, i can't live without it, even if it was that. it changes my right click into a win98 like close/maximize/minimize/restore window..
I'll try to kill the app temporarily

The issue was finally found, it wasn't "7 taskbar tweaker" at all that always worked with pm before & even firefox.
I recently moved to a x64 os & saw that the freedom's limited to my ram, but when PM reaches a certain amount of ram,
tabs become unresponsive & i need to right click on them & select restore .. . with the help of "7 taskbar tweaker" 's menu.

But when PM starts during a few instants, everything's fine & i can select all tabs without issues.

So maybe it's related to my new os involving the x64 approach, or a PM update, or simply, a ram limit.
