[QUOTE="m0deth, post: 211223, member: 28342"] As far as a fix goes....can you pad the left side as to where the icons are displayed? They seem to have a left justification(horrible font term), is there any way to shift them over maybe 20 more pixels? I don't know how that would affect all the rest. But it should give enough room to reduce the number of times the left menu pane is triggered accidentally.

There looks to be more wasted space on the sides as elements tightened up in the layout. My guess is BlueTwo Wide over-adjusts for overscan monitors, and as a result, this is what happens in yours.
