Strange behavior from taskbar-cursor interaction?
My tale of woe can be seen here: No taskbar with a maximized Firefox screen? mozillaZine Forums . Up until a few days ago, whenever my cursor hovered at the very bottom of the screen, the taskbar would appear. And, when the cursor was moved away from the bottom, the taskbar would disappear. My Windows 10 setting was to automatically hide the taskbar. Now, however, the taskbar would obey the cursor when when first booting up the computer, but would then revert back to not bringing up the taskbar after some links were used, or a new app opened (like Thunderbird.) Once the taskbar no longer worked right, it could be rejuvenated by F11, but this only lasted for few minutes before the taskbar would stop responding.
And now I am noticing an interesting process that causes the taskbar/cursor interaction to fail. I have Firefox open and Thunderbird minimize, with the taskbar working. However, if I merely place the cursor on Thunderbird's icon on the taskbar, the taskbar becomes hidden and can't be viewed. Same thing happens with any other program that has been opened and has been minimized to the taskbar. The only way I now can be sure to see my taskbar is to use Window settings is to have "Automatically hide taskbar in desktop mode" set to Off instead of On...the On setting was working for years...
EDIT: The only program that I put on lately was Kodi 17.1. I haven't removed it to test this as I don't want to go through resetting it up.
