This article was previously published under Q136012 SYMPTOMS
When you use the right mouse button to click the Start button, part of
the resulting context menu may be hidden behind the Microsoft Office for
Windows 95 Shortcut Bar.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur when the Shortcut Bar is positioned at the bottom
of the screen with its Auto Hide option enabled. The position of the mouse
pointer causes Windows to display the Shortcut Bar, which has a higher
display priority than the context menu.
RESOLUTION
To work around this behavior, use either of the following methods:
- Reposition the Windows taskbar to a different location on the
screen. To do so, drag the taskbar to any edge of the screen.
- Disable the Auto Hide option for the Office Shortcut Bar. To do so,
use the right mouse button to click the Office taskbar, and then click
Auto Hide on the menu that appears.
MORE INFORMATION
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows.
