[Bug] VW 2024 / Windows 11 - full screen VW application window does not allow user to access auto-hidden taskbar

[mdrohn]

When the Windows taskbar is set to auto-hide, it can be revealed by moving the mouse cursor to the bottom edge.  VW 2024 however, does not allow this when the application window is in full screen display.  VW 2023 and previous versions did not have this bug.

Allowing the taskbar to be accessed when the application is full-screen is typical and expected behavior across all Windows applications.

I'm getting the same behaviour with Windows 10. It's quite frustrating

Same here - I hate to bitch,but I've been using VW since it was MiniCAD and this is worst update in all that time.

I have just started using VW 2024 on a few jobs and this is rather frustrating...

I just installed VW 2025 and the bug is still there, a year later. Come on VW, this is ridiculous. Very annoying that the task bar is inaccessible when using VW full screen. What did I pay for again?

The issue will be resolved in a future Vectorworks task.

For now, users can go to System Properties > Advanced System Settings > Advanced > Settings and uncheck, "Show shadows under windows"  and will require a Vectorworks restart.
