Thanks for posting this. I'm glad they included thunderbird suppose. Now if the TIP wouldn't go crazy when using the toolbar box, it would rule.

Darned TIP has a mind of its' own. suppose should be support.
I have submitted a bug report, if anyone else with a tablet notices the 'flashing, unusable SP2 TIP' in the taskbar search box, please report it as well.
Thanks!

I reported it as well. Makes it unusable on Tablets.

Well that stinks! I've reported it as well. We should keep making noise until they acknowledge this and fix it. It appears to be bad coding on the popup window the deskbar uses to filter your search request.

Copernic is 3+ yrs old. They struggled to complete 2 yrs ago and seem to struggle again today.
