Windows 7 + Windowblinds Strange Taskbar Bug

Applications taskbar buttons keep 'duplicating'

from WinCustomize Forums

There is this strange taskbar error im getting.

I've tried a restart and it affects all programs. That second firefox icon is actually another foobar2000 button instance - when I click it foobar2000 shows up. It'd difficult to reproduce the bug, I'm not sure what causes it yet, so right now though, it jsut 'happens'. Most of the time it's fine but sometimes it bugs up. Twice since install this morning, it's now nighttime. Everytime the program is minimised the button stays there as normal, but when it's opened back up another button is made.

There's no other UI-changeing programs installed.

With WindowBlinds or without WindowBlinds?

I get the same thing with many instances of skype on my taskbar (I haven't tried without WB applied) but it doesn't happen that often and quitting skype and restarting makes it go away.

What version is your release?

I'll try a reinstall of it later on. Hell, it might even be a skin bug o.o
