Groupy Tab Bug

from Stardock Forums

I'm a long time Clover user, and I decided to give Groupy a try because it seemed like a more overall polished product.  However, upon installing it, I came across a glaring bug. 

When you have Groupy set to automatically group all windows together, the top of the window glitches out and the tabs disappear.  When you move the window, the tabs actually appear behind it and then finally reset itself properly.  It only happens upon the first time opening, and combining windows.  Anything you combine with it after this works perfectly fine.  However, once again... if you close all windows and start the process over, it does it all over again.  I have recorded, and uploaded a video to YouTube of this bug.  Hopefully Stardock sees this, and is able to rectify the problem!  

Also, as a bit of a request, can we please have an option for a window to open with a tab already?  Like Clover and QTTabBar does?

If we are talking about the same setting, I cant reproduce what you are seeing:

Are you certain you are on the the most recent version (not a beta)?

I just downloaded/installed what Stardock has up for download.  Under the About section in Groupy, it says "Version 1.0." 

And yep, that's the exact setting I have checked.

Unfortunately in testing we cannot reproduce this issue.

What we have done is made a small tweak in the upcoming 1.01 update which might help based on a theory on what is going on.

Same behavior for me on V1.0. I just install V1.01 beta -> same behavior. Hope it will be fixed soon.

Here, open windows file explorer and press control +n (to open a new window) the bug will happen.

But it does not for us:

What I would suggest is a clean boot:

After, start the Groupy service:

Does it still occur?

Thats because you guys have it set to always place above. Set it to combine if possible and then try the control n again.

That bug happen only in (combine if possible) option selected in groupy visual. If Second option selected (Place tab Above titlebar tab) it work great no bug at all. but if minimize the file explorer and restore it again the tab appears way more faster then windows restoration.

 

I hope that bug solve plz chek out this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKEsqolaYnw

Just tested a new beta and it appears resolved.  You should see a release soonish.
