Hi JulienDFr!

Hi edgerhuang,

  I suppose I still have the problem. I turned the option off since few months and in "windowed screen" (not only for the Word issue, the bar was still visible when I watched movies in full screen mode).
  I still hope MS will patch the issue. I will maybe turn the option back on.
