I'm actually testing 1.1.6 and found following bug:
1. switch viewer to fullscreen
2. minimize it to taskbar clicking the upper control bar
3. re-maximize it by clicking the taskbar
The screen stays behind the taskbar. This is not useful and new in 1.1.x
Earlier versions of the viewer haven't shown this behaviour.
I'm using Vista32. Can anybody confirm this bug?

Re: Fullscreen viewer stays behind the taskbar
This was changed on request.
Before, you could not show a local app "like your mail" on top of the viewer.
Now, the "on top" is set with the focus.
If you click on the fullscreen viewer ( take focus) you cover all applications including the taskbar.
But as soon as you change the focus, to some local app, the local apps and taskbar get to top most
position and show over the viewer. ( This is like RDP does it)

Re: Fullscreen viewer stays behind the taskbar
May be Rudi this change was on demand. To have the same behaviour like RDP is a good idea in principal. But:
The problem is now: My taskbar stays always on top, even if I set the focus back to remote and the remote screen is not rescaled or scrolling. If I once set the focus to another app the taskbar of the remote system will always stay behind my own taskbar after switching back to the viewer. I always have to size the window smaller and re-maximize it using the upper viewer bar to get the remote taskbar back. I can't imagine that this is volitional. And this is not the behaviour of RDP.
(To be precise: The viewer is running on a 2 monitor system, one with a height of 1050 and one with 1024... Possibly the wrong height is used for some calculations? But these 26 pixels can't make a taskbar completely disappear. Stupid idea...)

Re: Fullscreen viewer stays behind the taskbar
Sorry, but can't repeat it.
TEST1 (dual headed system)
Screen fullscreen on primary.
Taskbar local is covered by viewer
Press window on the extended desktop -> viewer loose focus -> local taskbar visable
Press viewer window -> local taskbar move back behind the window.
prim 1920*1600 ext:1920*1080
TEST2 (singled headed)
prim 1680x1050 showing 1920*1600
Fullscreen
alt-tab switch between local/remote
Local Taskbar is removed when viewer get focus
I'm testing directx mode( auto scaling) to fit the 1920*1600 on the smaller screen.
For me this behaviour is the same as RDP.
What's the viewer version?
What default monitor do you select?
What other options are set?
