Clear description of the problem - try and include as much information as possible, including what button and mappings you are having problems with (if applicable).:
Expected behavior:
In task bar: hover in the program icon which has more than one window, miniature windows will be shown, hover over one of these and the window should rise, also the window should be clickable.
Current behavior:
Hover in the program icon shows a miniature of program windows, but if I try to hover over the miniature it disappears immediately. Also the miniature is not clickable.

Hi,

Not really sure what in XMBC could cause that, unless you have changed the button behavior from default (particularly left click)?
What is you let button set to?

Its certainly not an issue here.
Does it happen only when XMBC is running?

It will stop happening if I disable XMBC.
I just have two simple application dependant settings:
In windows Explorer: scroll 10 lines, force scroll pages/lines
In Excel: scroll 1 line, force scroll pages/lines
Default: scroll 3 lines

the rest of the buttons are not set
Also it began to happen after I set that into Explorer/Excel recently.

Can you send me a copy of your profile so I can test with it here? Use the save profile button to save it and send me the file (either via PM or email it to me). It may shed some light on whats different with your settings compared to mine.
