It's impossibly annoying when minimised windows cannot be moved around the screen. (They open up as soon as you click them.) For example when you have a couple of minimised windows while scripting its impossible to see what people are saying to you as the windows cover up the chat text!

i love it when you have 2 scripts open and the both shrink to the same screen plot ... when you click is it script 1 or script 2 ... its like a game
seriously LL the GUI has been around with the same basic functions for decades, turn on a computer and take notes

Try this one:
Shrink a non-maximized, non-full screen SL window to about half size (width and hieght), haven't done many tests to see when this acctually occurs though (half size is what I used and noticed it).
Open the world map.
Minimize the world map.
OMG! WTF? It's huge! And all over the middle of my screen!

wanna break the f1 browser? simply open it in fullscreen mode alt-tab or alt-enter to windowed mode
1 it does the map effect as described above
2 go back to fullscreen mode and reopen the f1 browser (if you closed it during your windowed mode) and bam it might display the page in cashe, and when you click on a link it magically breaks, yea it still works but you will be lucky to see anything on the browser untill you relog
window mode trick # 2
if you run a res higher than 800x600 goto windowed mode and shrink the window down to about 800x600 (which is a decent sized window on my 1280x1024 lcd) eventho SL will run in 800x600 nativley the buttons @ the bottom and the text @ the top will become half rendered letters all jammed into one another, or on my old geforce2 gts in the other computer, they become just blobs of pixels (i cant really blame it on that ol geforce 2, ive gotten it to clock in @ 110fps under ideal situations so besides ripple water its more than enugh for SL)
outdated window mode trick
when they dumped the new snapshot freezeframe feature on us i thought i would try it out, luckly i told it to save to disk and not upload .... fullscreen snapshot freezeframe, oh this is kinda neat! alt enter to tell a buddy on msn and OMG the window is offscreen, no biggie ill just alt enter back to fullscreen, oops its still gone and im stuck in freezeframe hell, i saved well over 120 images on my hard drive before giving up and reloging (that would have sucked @ 10 bucks each)
AFAIK this has been resolved since they no longer force you to use the freezeframe feature ... but it could still be lurking, i dunno, i have no use for the feature and never bothered to try again
