Guys,
I recall this being an issue about a year ago, then I thought I recall
it
getting better, now it appears to be back. Specifically, apps that normally
minimize to the sys-tray instead of the i-box are jumping out of the i-tray and
onto the desktop in the far top-left corner.
One example is basket (Basket Notepads - the world's greatest 2nd
brain...)
When basket first starts, you see a white rectangle in the i-tray where the
basket icon should be. The white rectangle is flickering like video is being
played in the i-tray (looks like ~30 FPS -- sorry no screenshot here) After
using basket and clicking close, which normally minimizes the app to the tray, I
noticed a new small window in the top-left corner of the screen. See:

here is a close-up of the window itself:

sometimes when it jumps out (usually if the app is restarted after being
closed earlier in the same session) you get no window border at all:

That thing covering the 'Home' icon or just to its left, is actually a
complete
window with the little basket 'program icon' 'on top' of the window frame
(..tray1.jpg screenshot) --and-- with the basket 'sys-tray' icon as the window
background. If I click in the window, it does just what a sys-tray is supposed
to do and opens basket back up. It's just very lost for some reason and I can't
make it find its way back home :p
I don't know if this is important, but when the tray items are
minimized to the
tray, they are not shown in the window-list. After the apps jump ship, they are
shown in the window list:

Now this is probably just the natural result of the bug (creating a new
window
on the desktop) opposed to this behavior being related to the bug itself.
Let me know what I need to do. Do you want me to send more info, run
more
tests, etc..? If so, what? If you want me to submit is as a new task, I'm happy
to do it, just let me know. Thanks for any thoughts you may have on theses
wayward tray icons.
Note basket is the app that does this on the most regular basis ~ 90%
of the
time, but other apps do the same thing, just less often -- dunno?
