Colored Border and Lingering Program Problem v5.10

Post by searchlight4759 » Sun Mar 20, 2016 2:30 am

I downloaded v5.10 64bit version for my Windows 10 PC, and no matter what browser I sandboxed to use, the colored border would not show around it. The indicator would appear but not the colored border even though I selected the option to display the border permanently.

I uninstalled v5.10 and installed v5.08 64 bit version, and the border now displays perfectly.

Just an fyi that there might be a bug in the latest version.

One more thing, in v5.10 programs are still lingering when I close the browser as I see the tray indicator showing the red dots. However, in v5.08, the lingering programs are terminated automatically upon closing the browser.

Nothing wrong with the border. You can adjust that in Sandboxie. The border my not be present constantly in a window that is in the background or not clicked on. It's just a GUI.

If you want to know for sure what program in running in SBIE....use SBIE control program view and or "is this Windows sandboxed" in SBIE control>file

Programs may linger for a while, especially if they didn't create a Windows event correctly, for which SBIE will wait for. This is by design.

If you use leader / linger, turn it off.

This was done a long time ago to force programs to close, basically a quickly as a work around and that was the result. however, With modern code under Windows 10 and changes that has to be made, It's not needed and might cause more issues. Program will close, either immediately or after several seconds to a minute.

This is expected behavior.

Ok, I will upgrade the program to v5.10, and try working with it again. Thanks for the explanation.
