I think you may be right. I went back and re read your post. I have noticed on occasion the all programs disappearing after they lit up. Both with OD (free) running and without. I'm wondering if it's some kink of graphics issue or cursor issue or combination... whereas when we move our mouse over the cursor hot spot is considered to be off target and the menu disappears.

I get this every once in a while in FireFox's bookmarks also.

No start menu docklet is being used. What happens is I click on Start and then click on All Programs. When I move my cursor over to the menu that displays, it immediately goes behind the original Start menu. When I click Start and do it again then everything is fine.

I don't like scrolling menus but I'll give it a shot.

Nope, enabling scrolling doesn't fix it.

I haven't had that happen yet. Mine just totally disappears, same as if I clicked away from it.

I thought this was a Windowsblinds problem and was surprised to see it under ObjectDock. I was having this issue before I installed OD Pro.

I have this problem and also thought it was Blinds. But it doesn't happen when I unload objectDock Plus. I think it happens when using a dock on the bottom of the screen that is configured as a drawer type ie. it slides away out of sight when you move the mouse away. I noticed that when I go to click on the start menu then the dock appears (because go anywhere near the bottom of the screen, even if nowhere near the dock, and the dock will appear). Then when I goto the "All programs" option and then move the mouse up the list then the dock slides away. At the exact same time that the dock slides away then the main "All programs" menu vanishes leaving the original start menu and the "All programs" menu's submenu that you happened to have opened. If you then click on the start menu again pretty much straight away it all works fine.

Hopefully they will pull out a fix soon as I really like ObjectDock Plus, but I'm not using it with this problem.

Cheers

You do not have the start menu hidden while using OD ?...that may be the problem...a graphics conflict...use the hidden taskbar selection in OD...set up your dock to show the running tasks & show the system tray....with those settings I never have an issue with the start menu using a start menu docklet or the windows keyboard button..
The following tutorial shows a really cool way to show your system tray dock and allows you to even change the icon for it...so you only see an icon until you click on it...saving space on your dock

Turn off the "drawer" setting of the bottom dock and it works fine. The routine that makes the dock slide away when it is a "drawer" for some reason gets rid of the "All programs" menu if it is showing. Keeps the start menu and the sub-menus but not the "All programs" menu for some reason. If you turn off the "drawer" setting then the problem does not happen at all for me. So they really need to fix that slide away functionality.

I've had this same problem since the original post. But the new update for OD fixes this problem. Version 1.59[b].010 After the update is installed the problem with the disapearing all programs menue went away and all is working fine now. My thanks to the Tech department and everyones suggestions. This was a verry anoying glitch

Thanks for posting back Kinger and glad it is finally fixed

A afternote. Defraging the C drive makes the all programs button do the same thing the first time you use it but then it seems to work fine after that. And thanks to whoever added the flyout 5 day forcast to the weather dock in the update. I Love it  

Just tried the new start menue launcher for the first time and hid the task bar.The new menue launcher does the same thing on the all programs button that it did before the fix.When you mouse over on the menue is slides behind the pannel and you have to go down and hit the all programs button again to make it stay up.Tha main start button still works fine,only does this on the OD app. Also it leaves the top portion of the menue visible when it closes and you have to hit refresh to make it go away.

I'm using 1.9 freeloader version

not having your issue of sliding behind

am getting start shows up slight of center screen - either left or right depending on where I place the icon

placed on the right - start shows up high, right of center, all programs shows up on left side of screen

placed on the left - start shows up high, left of center, all programs show up on the right with the last column going off edge

I'm useing the 1.9Plus version.Not getting the same issue as you are.Everything stays where it should be just slides behind on the first click. Works like it should when you click it again.

Check my post here - it has something to do with the Autohide feature - I've also got pics of what happens if you turn Autohide off.

Bichur, I kinda get the same thing you have on my vista laptop. But only for the icon box at the top. It shows up by itself at the opposite side of where the start menue is. Just the box everything else is where it should be and works fine.
