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.

iTunes-OTHER, Windows 7

Chiming in with the same problem. 64-bit Win 7 Professional, taskbar set to auto-hide, newest version of iTunes (actually uninstalled and reinstalled via the website download earlier today to see if that would fix it; nope). I normally use the Alt+Tab keys to navigate between windows anyway, so it's not inconveniencing me too much, but it's still irritating when I'm trying to use the mouse to switch windows (or check the time) and realize I can't. Definitely fix this one soon. We'll all be very grateful 🙂

I've done the windows strech as a work around as well, but it's still very annoying. I just started looking at these forums. Does Apple provide any input, or do they leave it to their customers to try to figure out a way around their bugs?


Glad it's not just me, but annoyed that it's happening in the first place. 😠

I haven't gotten any response at all from Apple, aside from emails alerting me when new people add to this post. Maybe the original creator of the thread has received a response from them? I guess all that we can do is hope that they realize this problem exists and are going to fix it in the next iTunes version. It *would* be nice to get a response from someone who can actually assure us that that's happening, though. I mean, yeah, iTunes is free software, but they have a vested interest in making sure we use it to buy music from them, right? I've stopped using the iTunes store while this problem makes iTunes too much hassle. Amazon music is just as cheap.
