BUG: Display Glitch with start bar

[The Criminal]

Not sure which forum this would be best posted in, so I have posted it to
the 3 of them.

The glitch: When you drag from desktop to a open program or email message,
you are left with a transparent icon on the start bar.

See this Whirlpool AU thread for information on the issue:

The quick fix without rebooting was simply to do as was suggested, simply
press F5, and move a icon around, and that got rid of it.

Still annoying though.

It happens with those who have nVidia and ATI graphics chips, its not unique
to 64bit, restarting explorer seems to fix it too. So, I'm assuming it's a
Windows Bug­­®.

Doesn't happen on the 6 machines (all with different levels of processor/RAM
and different video cards) I just tried.
Dragged a PDF into a mail document in Outlook 2003. I did this from a
network mapped drive.

Does it mean it *doesn't* happen? No - just doesn't seem to be consistent.

You are right, it isn't consistent, I tried it several times, and as has
been mentioned by someone else, it only happened to them twice in 6 months,
I've experienced it a lot more often, hence the report.
