I see it on occasion with W7 too. I think it has a video driver anomaly. Try updating the drivers for the video card. For me it got to the point it was repeatable and a video driver fixed it.

I'd say it's probably the video drivers, too.
One of my laptops would randomly leave inactive images of pop-ups and even windows on the screen. Removing and re-installing the video drivers fixed it.

Do they have Win64 or Linux versions?

I would also say video drivers are most likely the culprit though poorly-written code may be assisting.
Instead of rebooting, try Win+Ctrl+Shift+B to reset the graphics driver. If that resolves it, that's the culprit, IMHO.

Thanks, I will try that next time it happens.

Outlook has been guilty of this for over a decade.

Yes.
Another wierd one is in Windows Explorer in "List" view with several columns and you click on a program file in a column, to the right side of the open window, the columns jump over one column to the left AND does not open. This has been happening in Windows ever since I can remember.
But it does not always happen!!!???

Interesting, but I have never seen that one. Will keep my eyes open for any future occurrences.

You can add comments in the free version, but if you want full editing then you need to pay. However, it is still the best basic reader.

I got rid of FoxIt when I realized it had a Facebook plugin.

I honestly never looked into the "why".
I always tell others - the day I'm required to write code - any code - that does anything with Facebook is the day I retire.

I have realized one thing:
Big companies produce bloated code which need large teams to maintain. Small companies produce just enough code for the apps to work nicely.
|

True and yet big companies are richer than smaller companies partly because they tailor to the edges.

I use Corel PDF Fusion (because it came free with one or more versions of Paintshop Pro and it allows PDF editing as well) and that's "only" 134MB! Bear in mind that's 134MB of Corel product: and their company motto is "Bloat and add bugs".
