I have had a couple of occasions where I use the Search Desktop box on my (top of screen) taskbar to search for an item. When I click More... for Communication (I am using Outlook 2007 B2TR) I see the pop-up search window blink a few times covering the full search window. When I click X to close it, the shadow stays on the screen and I must logout to remove it.
NOTE: I can get the pop-up window to blink twice before closing every time just by clicking in the Search Desktop box then clicking on the X, however this does not cause the shadow to stay behind.

I am running a lot of programs, normally. Typically some IE & FireFox windows, Outlook 2007, Terminal Services Client, Ultramon (I have two monitors), others.
Outlook is maximized across both screens, most other programs are maximized to one screen. I am also using TrueLaunchBar instead of the Start Menu.
If I can figure out how to make more consistent, I'll post something.

NetMage,
Are you still running into this problem I'm able to reproduce the blinking, but not the shadow that you refer to. If you are still able to reproduce the problem could you please tell me exactly how.
Questions:
What programs are running when this happens
What programs are displayed (not minimized) when it happens
Are any programs maximized on the screen
Do you have any other apps running on your toolbar
Thanks for your help,
