 Here's an example of what happens occasionally, the taskbar is one 'position' above the bottom of the screen, you can see by desktop under the taskbar. I'm not sure what makes it do this and it's only happened a few times, not just with 5.3 beta 2, but earlier versions as well.  Maybe because my taskbar on my primary monitor is stretched to 'one' larger size??

If you simply open the options menu and uncheck|apply|recheck the mulit-monitor option it's good again.

Also, it would be nice to access this feature via the contextual right click on the task manager, like you used to in earlier beta versions.

 Dear Matt,

Could you specify what did you mean writing "my taskbar on my primary monitor is stretched to 'one' larger size"?

 And what are the sizes of your monitors?

 I have stretched the primary monitor taskbar to one size larger, so instead of the normal height, it's one size larger than that.

The primary monitor is a 15" Toshiba laptop screen and the secondary is a 19" dell monitor, both running at WSXGA+ (1680x1050)

 Matt,

I have the primary task bar on my main monitor stretched to 3 time normal height, with secondary monitor taskbars normal height, but have never seen the effect you get.

 Matt, we suspect that you may have a conflict between AWM and some 3rd-party utility. Could you verify this guess?

 Then please try to detect a reproducable sequence of actions that causes the subject issue - unfortunately, we failed to reproduce the situation on our test machine just trying.

 Yes, it was meant to be just a heads up. I understand that without specific descriptions it would be nearly impossible to solve.
