XY64: tab issue

Post by RecycleBin »

Reporting an issue with 64:
Not sure the trigger, but perhaps just XY being minimized for a while: tabs become non-responsive and are visually slightly off (sort of 'recessed', with border under the address name) - see attached pics.

Opening new tab or closing tabs is wonky, not working, or delayed, or (for instance) opening a new tab when clicking the X.
The only way to close tabs seems to be using the context menu, e.g., 'close tabs to right'.

Closing and re-opening XY resolves the issue until the next time.
I can't get it to repeat intentionally... Until it just happens again an hour or so later, so still unsure the trigger.

Have not had similar in 15 years of XY, until installing 64 yesterday, so assuming this is 64 related.
I'm afraid I don't have a lot of time to test, etc., but reporting in the hope it may help.

Version 28.00, Windows 11, 125% scaling.
(I also have ver. 27.20 installed)

Update on the frozen tabs with 64:
Seemingly related, when restoring from minimized, not only are the tabs sometimes frozen and with a changed appearance, but a couple of times XY64 also snaps up to, and slightly outside, the view of the screen. So, the top section is partially obscured.

Pic attached, again with strange looking, frozen tab, and also slightly out of screen on restore from minimized ...

Tricky. Why don't more people report this? I assume it's related to 125% scaling (which many people use) and to some window metrics issues of tB that are still not fixed. Let's see if the next tB release (Sept 30th) brings some progress here.

I wondered the same.
I'm on a fairly vanilla set-up, so first thought was that it was not due to some oddity of my system.
And XY32 behaves perfectly, with never a hiccup.
Yet frozen tabs happen here multiple times a day and seemingly to no one else...

Apologies I cannot provide better causative clues, but will install updates as they come along, and no doubt it will resolve with one of them.

Thanks,

Mark

An update...
My initial installs of XY64 were unstable enough, as noted above, that they were not really usable.
Freezing, crashing, etc., multiple times a day.
Had to stick with 32.

However, I recently did a clean install of Windows 25H2, reinstalled XY64, and over the past week or so (aside from an occasional insignificant visual glitch) have not had a single issue with XY64. Previously I was on 23H2 (on a Microsoft Intel Surface device), which for some reason was not being auto-upgraded.

So, reason remains unclear—perhaps related to the underlying Windows version?—but my issues are now gone and am using XY64 as default.

Best regards,
Mark
