[Windows 7 Bug] User Picture Disappears from Start Menu

Another funny bug in Windows 7:

1. Click on Start ORB and make sure that startmenu contains at least one program shortcut in left side pane which is expandable (look at the small black arrow) like following screenshot:

2. Now expand the program shortcut by clicking on the arrow or by hovering the mouse cursor over it:

3. Once the Tasks list is shown, hover your mouse cursor on any other program shortcut so that the Tasks list gets disappeared:

4. Now the bug will appear. As you can see in the screenshot, the user picture will disappear from the top of start menu. Even you hover your cursor over any item present in right-side pane, the user pic will not appear:

If you exit from start menu and re-open it, the user pic will appear again.

  • This bug does not work at my side, probably dependent on some settings or something else?

  • Testing build: Version 6.1.7000 Build 7000
    I was unable to reproduce this bug after trying 10 times. This may have been an issue in a prior build.

  • P.S. If you are going to post a Bug let us know what build you’re running so that others can confirm the Bug and fill out a bug reposts to MS.
