Major bug found with sp1

After installing vista sp1 standalone service pack I've noticed that the
"status bar" along the bottom of internet explorer and "windows mail" is
hidden by the taskbar when these apps are maximised

not here.. its not like that...

see if your taskbar is set to be ALWAYS ON TOP

Will,

I know some things right after the install of SP1 didn't seem right. A
good friend of mine has a dual monitor setup and after the first boot of
SP1, it didn't recognize or use the dual monitor setup. After a reboot
and some adjustments, the dual monitors are working just fine. I'd say,
reboot and see how things proceed from there. I've been using SP1 since
it was beta without any issues. Hopefully your situation will be self
correcting.

Yes it is set to be on top ,the checkbox "Keep the taskbar on top of other
windows " is checked unchecking it only puts maximised windows over the
taskbar which I don't want.

After installing sp1 maximised windows actually have the bottom portion
covered by the taskbar if there's no fix for this I will actually seriously
considder uninstalling sp1

I must have the stand alone version of SP1 without that bug, both show
the statuse bar here.

When you maximise other windows is the task bar "On Top"? Or is it just
the 2 you mentioned?

You might want to uncheck "keep Taskbar ontop of other windows" open IE
see what changed then recheck "Keep taskbar ontop of other windows" and
see if that might have toggled a change. Or maybe even a
Autohide taskbar setting try to toggle that one as well.

Problem solved for now
I had auto hide the taskbar enabled as a temporary workaround then I
rebooted and disabled auto hide and so far it's working fine after a few
reboots

To clarify: are talking about Maximized (box next the the X) or Gull Screen
(F11)?
