Hi Bruce,

I know you are only bug-fixing PowerPro now, and there is a limitation
(if you will) in PowerPro that I was wondering if it was possible to
fix. If you have a hidden PowerPro bar which is set to appear on
screen edge bump, there are certain programs that unintentionally
disable PowerPro's edge detection. Forte Agent is one, The Bat email
client is another. These programs normally don't cause any problems,
except in certain specific case: when you are doing an action inside
the programs that pop-up a dialog box. For example, if you do a purge
and compact in Agent, a dialog box pops up in the middle of the screen
showing the progress (the same with a backup in The Bat).

While these dialog boxes are active, PowerPro will not detect that you
are bumping the edge of the screen and thus will not show the bar.
Once the dialogs disappear, PowerPro detects the bump fine. Even more
interesting, if you wait until one of those dialogs appears, and then
switch (alt+tab) to another full screen application, and then bump the
screen, PowerPro will detect the bump...but not if you alt+tab back to
the program that has the dialog box open (not until the dialog
disappears anyway).

Most of the time I find I have another full screen application open,
and so can just alt+tab to it and then open my PowerPro bar, but
sometimes I don't, and because all my programs are launched via
PowerPro, I have to wait until Agent finishes compacting or Bat
finishes backing up to open any more programs.
