Not really sure why it not appearing on your system. But this is what I get on my email. Perhaps some other setting which delete all spam automatically.
One thing, I notice, I don't actually need to tick on "Subscribe", it usually automatically selected when I reply to a thread.
Thank you,

I have no setting which deletes spam automatically. Even so it would be in my trash folder and it isn't there either. They are automatically checked for me as well. I just meant they are checked.
I still have the same issue with 2.55 which started for me in 2.53, where the taskbar has clipping on part of the clock and sometimes the start button, on secondary monitors. I am still running 2.51 on my primary system because the clipping is really bad and causes flickering, and it's quite distracting and annoying.
I updated to 2.55 on another computer just to test, and I think maybe the flickering and clipping is a bit less in this 2.55 version, or maybe it's just more consistent and less chaotic, but it still persists and you can see here in the screenshot the same small bit of clipping can be seen on each of the three secondary displays in the clock area where the start of the "S" in Sun is cut off. Sorry if it's small and hard to see without zooming in, but it's the best way to capture what is going on. When you actively drag windows from one screen to the next, the left and right sides of the taskbar start flickering and more of the clock gets cut off and sometimes the left side of the start button is cut off also. But once you release a window into a destination screen, it will refresh after a moment, and the result is usually as you can see here, it consistently cuts off some of the left side of the clock text. So, when windows are not moving, it's not that bad, just part of the clock is cut off but, while you are actively moving windows, lots of flickering and clipping on the taskbar on all displays where there is movement.
The primary display (the one with the task tray and pinned shortcuts) functions properly all the time and does not experience any clipping or flickering, only the secondary displays. Settings are to always show taskbars on all screens. This screenshot was taken via RDP, so this issue happens on the system locally, and even when connected via Windows RDP.
On the same system running version 2.51, everything is perfect, no flickering when moving windows around and no clipping or cut off areas in the taskbar.
Both systems running Windows 11 24H2, and both have Nvidia GPU with the same latest "game ready" drivers.
I'm curious if anyone else has experienced issues like this when using multiple displays or if this is something unique to my two computers and these 4x monitors??
Thanks for any attention and time spent looking into this issue and work done on a resolution.
Hello,Sorry to hear you are having issues. Need to know more on your system.
Thank you,Basj,Stardock Community Assistant.
Hello, I can answer these:
1. OS Build 26100.6725 on both systems (but also was occurring with 26100.6588 before the latest updates).
2. Yes, this is with enhanced taskbar turned on.
Thanks for the follow-up!
Also, as a test, if you turn off the 2 top monitors. Restart Explorer.exe. Does the issue appear on those big two monitors?

With top monitors off, the issue does appear on the remaining secondary display.
Unfortunately I can not reproduce your issue on my system.
Would like to suggest please try purge and reinstall steps as mention here : [Link]. Just make sure to redownload the latest version from your account page. Reboot after the purge. Reinstall and reboot again after the installation. Retest and report back here.
ODNT-9883 not yet resolved. It's same as previous beta. I think I was using 2.55 beta until today.

Hi, thanks for the suggestion but, I have since done a lot of additional testing and have narrowed down the issue to rounded corners. If I turn off rounded corners the issue goes away.
Purging aside, I just tested by installing onto a Windows 11 VM that previously never had S11 installed and started turning on features to match my settings until the issue started happening and it started with rounded corners. I also tried to test with the animation on/off and different padding settings and also different degrees of roundedness but, no matter what I tried if rounded corners are turned on, it will cause the clipping and flickering in the taskbar on secondary displays.
So, I'm just going to turn off rounded corners for now and stick with 2.55. I will try to tinker a bit more and can update if I find anything.
Thank you for pointing the Rounded corner part. I can not reproduce this issue on my secondary monitor. It look like its on the "X offset setting:". The large the offset more "day" got cut off. For my system it started to show on "Large"
