Simplewall: [UI] Menu blacked out

[seihtam]

Version: 2.0.18, 64-bit (Unicode) on Windows 10

After running for some time the menu suddenly looks like this:

Hovering over the different options reveals them:

The program refuses to open, when double clicking the tray icon the window briefly appears and then disappears. Notifications doesn't appear at all. Restarting the program fixes the problem. It can happen multiple times per day.

Btw thank you for creating such a nice firewall! This is exactly what i have been looking for in a long time.

It' happens. I try to fix this, but no promises.

Same here. What's more, sometimes it even corrupts other elements, like the Start button and taskbar. Memory leak? Plus the occasional crash upon start-up.

Same here for Windows 7 x64 but in my case this bug appears when i wake up my pc from sleep mode (but not every time)

[ltGuillaume]

I recognize such behavior when returning from standby/hibernation from Firefox (Master password dialog sometimes misses text field and buttons). Could be something alike. I just tried when returned from hibernation, but this time it worked. So it's not easily reproduced.

2.1.2 have lot of fixes about this, so check it.

[seihtam]

I unfortunately still have this issue on 2.1.3

[henrypp]

Memory leak?

No. Race condition.

[henrypp]

What with 2.1.4 version, people?

Hi, I'm not sure yet since it happens randomly but it seems it's fixed. Thanks for your amazing work, your software is now even more perfect. You deserve a donation. =)

EDIT : I confirm it hasn't buged a single time since the last update. :D

[ltGuillaume]

I had problems (while in a remote desktop session with simplewall running on the remote system, might have to do with it): parts of the notification remained visible, even though the popup was closed. It wouldn't pop up as a complete notification dialog again either, just pieces of it.

@ltGuillaume screenshot?

[ltGuillaume]

Will do asap.

[seihtam]

I haven't experienced this bug after switching to 2.1.4

[ltGuillaume]

After returning a remote system from hibernation and accessing it via Remote Desktop, I don't see anything other than the tray icon: no tooltip when hovering the icon, no menu when right-clicking it, and no window when double-clicking it.

[seihtam]

I think this issue can be closed now, I have not experience this bug after upgrading to 2.1.4. If ltGuillaume's issue is still present then a new issue should be opened, I don't think it's related to this issue.
