SYMPTOMS
If you size the taskbar to be higher than one button and enable the Auto
Hide option, when the taskbar hides itself it leaves a trail of its
borders in the window of any program it happened to overlap. When the
taskbar is completely hidden, the program's window is redrawn and the
trail disappears. This behavior also occurs if the taskbar is attached to
the side of the screen rather than the bottom, but does not depend on the
size of the taskbar.
RESOLUTION
To work around this behavior, disable the Show Window Contents While
Dragging option on the Plus! tab in Display properties.
