I also use 7+ Taskbar Tweaker along with Classic Shell. No problems with it experienced before.
After exitting 7+ Taskbar Tweaker the problem persists, I cannot move the Quick Launch bar. |

Even if I somehow reach the handle of the Quick Launch bar, I still cannot move it!
And it changes the position periodically, seemingly, randomly. Sometimes it becomes far from the start button but in that case I cannot move it closer either. |
