RE: Shortcuts not working for some programs I think this is similar to the problem I have, and I've somehow managed to
pinpoint it :
When a toolbar has buttons in the extended part (that is, the popup opened
by clicking on the ">>" symbol at the right of the toolbar), clicking one of
these buttons produces a strange behavior : a window briefly appears and
disappears, which seems to be an explorer window, before the shortcut is
executed.
But most importantly, the shortcut isn't executed properly, and in
particular all options that might have been passed in the command for the
shortcut are ignored. To make it clear that this isn't a problem of the
shortcut itself, when the toolbar is resized so that the shortcut button
appears directly in the visible toolbar area, then the shortcut is executed
fine (ie. the command is executed with all the options)
This can get very annoying when you actually want to use these ">>"
extensions to store shortcuts in a hierarchical way, e.g. icons in
subfolders, as this bug makes it impossible to use commands with options.
This is definitely reproducible. I'm using Vista Business but it's probably
the same for all editions. I'm suspecting some interference from explorer
there (probably due to the ">>" extension using the explorer to build the
folder tree).
Let's hope this will be heard (and fixed) !
Best regards,
