Start Menu Out Of Shape

Submitted by Trinity1080 on March 13, 2010 to Annoyance, Bug, Usability

When the taskbar is being docked on the side, it will block the pinned items. That is not good, but the worst part is when it is dragged wider, the start menu will change into something very ugly which I failed to describe it.

Fix this bug!

I think the real problem is with you, for having it so wide in the first place. What's the point? It seems to me you've just clicked around randomly until you can make something break.

Best "solution" is to limit the taskbar height/width to 3 or 4 rows/columns.

@Chris: It only happens when the taskbar is wider than the start menu, which is a ridiculous width to have it at anyway.

Just checked; the taskbar doesn't even allow more than one column of icons to be visible wihout a scroll bar no matter how wide it is when docked to the side. There is NO reason for the taskbar to be this wide.
