Classic Shell: Forum

Using version 4.3.0 on Windows 8.1 pro x64:

If I right-click an icon pinned to the taskbar and the jumplist for that icon is showing, then left-clicking on the ClassicShell button won't open the menu. It isn't a big deal, but sometimes after seeing a jumplist for a taskbar icon, I change my mind and want to go to the start-menu. In this case though nothing happens, and I have to click it again to see the menu.

Some settings I'm using:
Menu style: "Windows 7"
Skin: Aero

I can post all settings if this is not a known problem and the settings will help.

I am using Windows 8.1 Pro x64. I am able to show a taskbar jumplist and then left click on the Start button - the jumplist closes and the Start menu opens. I have no idea why it doesn't for you.

I am a Windows enthusiast and helped a little with Classic Shell's testing and usability/UX feedback.

Thanks for trying. I reset all settings to default, logged-out and back in, and it still has the problem. It must be some obscure difference in how I have Windows setup. The only different thing I did with Windows that most people won't do, is edit the Registry to set the "icon font" (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics) to Tahoma 9pt.

Did you try using the default settings ?

Again, not a big deal, I just thought it might be a bug.
