 Windows 97 Bug Details

B0002 : Help window does not appear in taskbar
This bug shows up almost every time you start Windows Help: The Windows Help button in the taskbar does not show, and when you minimize the window the window appears in the normal Windows 3.1 fashion instead of minimizing into the taskbar.

The bug is only temporary, it dissapears when you minimize and then maximize the window.

Reported against: 4.0
State: Closed
Release fixed: none
 

B0001 : Mask98 does not update Calmira Explorer window titlebar occasionally
This bug shows up every time you change the directory being viewed in the Calmira Explorer: the Mask98 Window titlebar decoration dissapears!

The bug is only temporary, it dissapears when the state of the window is changed (i.e., another window opens and this one is put in the background).

Workaround: Click on the little 'X' button in the taskbar (or run Start Menu>Programs>Windoze>Windows X). This will run a program called 'Windows X', and it will put new minimize, maximize/restore, and close buttons on the active window(s). When the bug is induced, the window's titlebar will look something like this: The bug is now fixed. NOTE: When you restart Windows, the program will not be running, so you will have to start it again.

Reported against: 4.0
State: Fixed
Release fixed: 4.10
