On my old slow Win7 laptop, I often had issues with Dexpot that seemed likely due to the slowness of that laptop. I'm now using a much faster Win7 laptop, so many of those things that seemed like race conditions aren't happening anymore. However, even on this faster laptop, I'm seeing windows getting into a "hidden" state quite often. Today I've had to restore hidden windows 10-20 times.
When this happens, I can see the window on the status bar, and the thumbnail of the window comes up from the status bar, but when I left-click or right-click on the thumbnail, nothing happens.
I recently discovered how to get to the list of "Hidden" windows (the "Find Window" function), so at least I have a workaround, but I've had to do this many times today. I wish it were a little easier to get to that list. Once I get to the entry in the list, I have to right-click it and select "Show on current desktop". I would have at least thought that double-clicking on it would do that, but it does not.
