FYI: I moved my Windows 7 64-bit Taskbar from the bottom (horizontal) to the left (vertical).
When I start Elemental, my mouse cursor (with a windows arrow) is confined to the left side just where my Windows Taskbar would be. The cursor icon flickers between the Windows arrow and the Elemental feather when I try to force the cursor past the left "confinement area". Finally, a mouse click sends me to the Windows desktop. Clicking on the Elemental application in the Taskbar sends me back to the Elemental start menu and there are no issues from then on.
I observed this ui bug for several releases. I guess it's time to report it.
