Auto hide taskbar not working with iTunes 10.5 & Windows 7

Anyone else having problems with Auto-hide Taskbar not working when iTunes is open and the active window? Was working fine with previous versions including the beta of 10.5 I had. Is this a general problem or just me? Im using Windows 7 64bit for what its worth.

Now that you mention it I have noticed that a few times. I can't remember if it was happening before the latest update or if it came along with the auto-hide trouble.


Problems with iTunes tend to get fixed in the next update, so I won't be too worried until we get another update and the problem is still there. I figure someone reads these things, even if we never hear from them, if no one says anything we can't expect them to know anything is wrong, so a minute or two spent posting here can't hurt.

Same. I'm watching this thread thinking, "Someone from Apple has got to respond eventually." Do they really read these threads?


I think our best bet, until the next update (which we can keep hoping will have a fix), is to not let this thread become idle for too long, so that new people searching for the problem online will find it and post to it, and maybe the number of replies will get so high that Apple will realize it's a big problem for a lot of their users.

Add me to the list of concerned users -- I am responsible for a school installation of 300 computers (mostly WinXP), and find this little bug quite an irritant. It contravenes my teaching to students about the wonders of Apple: I tell them that Apple's secret to success is attention to both overall usability and the detail of the user experience.

This apparent presumptuousness -- or, worse, mistaken coding -- in bypassing Windows' rules on screen maximizing behavior is worrisome.


Or maybe somebody will explain that Apple is actually following true standards, but Windows does not really follow its own standards for maximizing screen display? Even so, iTunes needs to play well on Windows platforms.


Fix it, please.
