Display bug

When opening winamp half the time the media library pane is blank, and a title bar will appear on the screen - it takes a desktop refresh to get rid of it.

And to reproduce this...
you've got Winamp set to show in the system tray only (not taskbar),
and you close Winamp when it's minimized to the system tray.
Then the problem occurs when you reopen Winamp...?

If yes, then alas, this is a known bug/issue, which still isn't fixed in the latest internal 5.51 betas, along with a fair few other minimize-related issues.

As a workaround, your best bet is to either set Winamp to also show an icon in the Taskbar and/or don't close Winamp in a minimized state.

I'm also hoping that this bug can be fixed for 5.51,
but as always, we shall see...

Yup, that's the one.
Hopefully this will be fixed in the next update - closing when minimised is a habit by now.

You'll be glad to know that this issue is now fixed in the latest internal beta builds :-)
