Usage 0.33.5

When checking usage or adjusting features in the bottom-right corner of a Windows screen, right-clicking often opened a menu that was halfway blocked by the taskbar underneath, making the desired options impossible to click. Now, right-clicking the system tray (the notification area with persistent icons in the lower-right corner) opens a menu that automatically avoids the taskbar. The new version applies the same taskbar avoidance positioning and foreground owner (the window setting that lets menus take proper focus) used for quota text, displaying the menu entirely outside the taskbar so it is never trapped underneath. Usual left-click operations remain completely unchanged.

When stepping away from the desk and locking the Windows screen, returning and unlocking the machine sometimes revealed that software running in the background had crashed unexpectedly. To investigate this issue, the team hardened three potentially related native low-level calls (instructions that interact directly with the operating system). The system tray icon is no longer redrawn concurrently by two threads (internal pathways that process tasks in parallel). Windows handles (system identifiers used to recognize resources) are no longer truncated to thirty-two bits. The file watcher also waits for ongoing reads to complete before shutting down. Although the root cause of the crashes has not yet been confirmed, potential conflicts have been eliminated in advance.
