Major visual/usability bug w/Windows 10 OS+AMD Beta drivers!

Post by Naki »

See 2 screenshots - one is the normal view, 2nd one is the collapsed view after a double-click:

Trying to use (click) the menus fails, none of them respond to clicks at all. :eek: :?
The system is the following: ASUS socket 1150 mobo, Intel Core i3 (dual-core, 4 threads with HT), 16 GB of RAM (2x8 GB), Intel GPU+AMD Radeon R9 390 discrete card, Samsung SSD + 2 HDDs (WD Red and Seagate desktop).
Latest Intel GPU WHQL/stable drivers, Beta drivers for AMD Radeon however - namely version 18.10.1. Also, system has 3 monitors attached - leftmost is LG TV/monitor @ Full HD, middle main one is Lenovo monitor @ 2K (1440p), and one on the right is a Philips monitor @ FullHD - all are 27" in size. And they are all connected to the AMD Radeon card - via DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort with adapters/special cables as necessary. (I am using a HDMI <--> DP adapter for one of these, so I can use the DP port on the AMD Radeon card - it does not have enough HDMI ports for them to all use that.) Nothing connected to Intel built-in GPU but it is enabled as my MS Hyper-V VMs use that, keeping load on the AMD Radeon GPU lower. :)
Windows is latest Windows 10 Version 1809 (Oct 2018 version, the one they then pulled :)) - 64-bit, Enterprise.

Is this a known issue? I assume it to be a AMD Radeon Beta drivers bug, but maybe it can be fixed/worked around by Core Temp somehow? :)
A 2nd issue here is trying to exit Core Temp fails - I have it set to NOT show in Windows Taskbar, so only way to exit is from the Windows Notification area.
Usually, this works but when window shows as above, the right-click menus do NOT show when I try this??
Had to kill Core Temp via Task Manager, then on 2nd run it is fine now.

NOTE: I used to be a programmer previously, and an older Windows program of mine has exactly the same issue! (on another PC)
It is written in C++ - more exactly using C++ Builder 6 - and its menus are messed up the same way too. :-)

Sadly I don't have a system running Win10 with a recent enough GPU to test this myself, but it really sounds and looks like a driver and/or Windows bug, nothing to do with Core Temp itself.
