Confirmed so far:

1. Any changes to the Email Checker module made when accessing the settings panel via a right-click context menu will be lost when you press OK in the panel.

To properly configure the Email Checker module you MUST do it via the Modules tab in Preferences.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If anybody notices any other issues, please post them here or contact Winstep support. Don't assume Winstep already knows about them - if we did, they would appear here too. :)

More issues:

2. Application crash: the application will crash if you are using an animated mouse over effect (Fire, Spin, Magic, etc...) and mouse over a document icon (e.g.; image and video files) whilst it is still being turned from a generic icon into a thumbnail of the document (i.e.; whilst still playing the morph animation). Once the thumbnail is fully visible this is no longer a problem.

3. Trying to run a shortcut to a 64 bit application (launching the target application directly is ok) will fail with an error that the target application cannot be found. Since this only happens when trying to launch shortcuts (.lnk files) and not the actual applications, this issue should only surface in the Desktop tab of the Shelf and in the Programs sub-menu of NextSTART.

4. Black or glitched thumbnail icons of running applications.

This is not really a bug per se, only a bad implementation.

On v16.2 I used another method to get the windows thumbnails used as icons for running applications. The new method is both faster and safer (the old method could cause visual glitches on sensitive applications, which is why you have an exception list in the program), but unfortunately also seems to have a few drawbacks of its own.

5. Under Winstep Xtreme, the Net Meter desktop module can cause high CPU usage.

This is because of a mistake in the 'smooth meters' implementation for this desktop module alone, which causes it to be constantly refreshed if it uses multi-state images (which most themes do).
