Hi guys
Here is one more interesting BUG in Windows Vista, which is related to "
Statusbar":
1. Open "
My Computer" and enable "
Statusbar" by pressing
<ALT> tab and select "
View -> Statusbar".
2. Close "
My Computer" window.
3. Again open "
My Computer" but remember don't maximize or restore the window. Leave it as it is.
4. Double-click on any drive which contains at least one file in its root, e.g. If your D:\ drive contains any .txt or .jpg or .bmp or any other format file, then double-click on D: drive.
5. Select that file and look at Statusbar. There will be only a line is showing "
1 item selected" and nothing else.
6. Now do any of following:
a. If your window is maximized, then restore it by clicking on Restore button (middle button) in Titlebar.
b. If your window is in normal state (restore), then maximize it.
c. Or open any other folder in the current drive and then press "Backspace" key or click on "Back" button to come back to root of the drive where you were recently.
7. Now again select the same file and look at statusbar. VOILLA now you can see its size in Statusbar which was not there when we tried in "5th step".
So now here is the conclusion:
Statusbar doesnt show a file size if the file is in root of a drive. But if we change the window state or open a folder in the drive and again come back to root of the drive, then Statusbar shows the size. Which is kinda strange and definitely a BUG.
