ObjectDock 2.0 Beta: Moving the mouse when below a dock should NOT select the dock icons and show text

from Stardock Forums

Hi,

  I have a zoomer dock bottom aligned left, set to auto-hide and to appear a short distance above the bottom edge so it shows above my regular Windows taskbar which is also set to auto-hide. The problem: when I move the mouse to the bottom of the screen to show the taskbar and then move among the Windows taskbar icons that are situated below the zoomer dock, the zoomer dock causes selection among it's icons and shows their text, which obscures the popup text I want to see from the Windows taskbar icons and causes an annoying visual effect.

The bottom line:  The dock (whether zoomer or tabbed) should only select among its icons when the mouse cursor is actually within the boundaries of the dock and not simply below it.

Interesting, I wonder if it has something to do with autohide of the zoomer dock.  I'm not seeing the problem on my system with either sytle of dock.. 

What version of Object Dock and OS are you using?

Oh, forgot to add the standard config stuff:

I am using Version 2 beta of ObjectDock Plus on a quad-core notebook running Windows 7 Professional 64bit with 8GB RAM. I run in dual monitor mode with an external LCD monitor as my primary right side display and notebook display as the left display.  I use the Classic Windows theme - NOT the new Aero.
