Winbox issue/bug - v3.32 : frequently, when winbox is in the background, and is clicked to bring it to the foreground (focus), AND then an item on the left-side bar is clicked (such as "IP" or "System" menu's), winbox will frequently disappear (ie crash- no message/error, and winbox.exe is not running any longer).
WinVer=21H2 build: 22000.282 (win11)- but this occurred just as frequently with win10
Windows11 = (fresh install as of ~ 3 months ago).
This is my 3rd physical PC i have had this occur on (prior was on windows10 - and issue persisted).
One unique / contributing factor: I have 8x high-res monitors. (4x at 4k resolution, 4x at 2560p res- via 2x Nvidia Quadro RTX-4000 cards). If that is relevant.
I am not running any AntiVirus SW, and win Defender is fully disabled (please keep this topic focused on winbox crash)
When i was running win10 - w 2x Quadro p1000 GPUs, on different (mb,cpu) hardware but with 6x slightly lower res monitors, about 1 year ago, i also frequently had this same issue with winbox crashing/closing.) I generally do not see this occur when in the field using my windows10 laptop,
but I have had this occur when using a different laptop (win7) that is connected to a monitor (thus dual monitor setup).
It is ofcouse very frustrating. Anecdotally, it seems to have increased in frequency with the v3.32 winbox version. (that may just be a coincidence as this issue occurs 1-5x times a day for me on avg).
I have had this issue occur at least once per work-day for nearly two years now. (as i manage 100s of mikrotiks , i very-frequently use winbox, and I always have one or more winbox windows/sessions open and running. also note: 2x or 3x winbox sessions stay running 24/7 ).
(im adding as much info as i can for context / information to help mikrotik debugging).
Im also submitting this to support@mikrotik.com.
If anyone has any info / suggestion (or if others are seeing this same issue occur) please reply back.
(i could not find any mentions of this issue in my google and mt forum searches) - Thank you!
EDIT: My only guess/intuition is that this may have something to do with multi monitor setups. I do not have this issue occur with other apps/program i run (only winbox does this)
