Hello, I have identified a bug with the right click context menu for the BOINC agent task tray icon. If you have two monitors (the same behavior might happen with more than two but I'm only using two), and the monitors are not flush together in the Windows Display Settings like this image:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CDLgbRWSpV-0...Z0QC6tko/view?usp=sharing Then the context menu for the BOINC icon in the task tray displays incorrectly when it is right clicked like so: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-WxdIrB7EW0f...VtCXOo_2/view?usp=sharing Basically the context menu opens below the cursor instead of above the cursor and thus prevents the user from snoozing, opening or exiting the agent. If I disable my second monitor or if I move the monitors so that they are flush in Display Settings then the context menu opens correctly. |

Only now realize there is no 'snooze' option anywhere on the BOINC Manager client menu interface, not the Simple or Advanced View, so buggers.
But, intermediate, the keyboard could help you out Snooze About Exit No, they're underscored alright, but the keys are dead as a doornail. More than 1 bug with that context menu in my 7.14.3 release. |

Yeah I noticed that too. Until I figured out how to work around the bug I identified, I was opening the application and then suspending the project to take back my CPU cycles when I needed them. I just realized that I'm on release 7.14.2 so I'll try updating to see if that makes any difference.

7.14.2 is the latest version for MS.
7.14.3 may be for Linux or something else. Mike |

I just realized that I'm on release 7.14.2 so I'll try updating to see if that makes any difference. Sorry, just a typo, 7.14.2. There are no later 7.14 builds for windows and 7.16 I've dumped after mucho porblemos, so 7.14.2 it is. You may want to test 7.16.4, latest 'May be unstable' test build if it reproduces the issue. https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/boinc_7.16.4_windows_x86_64.exe per https://boinc.berkeley.edu/download_all.php All Versions page.
