minor bug in tea timer

There is currently a bug in TeaTimer 1.4. Portions of TeaTimer's popup dialog overlay the "Allow change" and "Deny change" buttons. On my system the very top edges of the "Allow change" button (on the left) and "Deny change" button (on the right) are showing and I am still able to select the options. I also can check "Remember this decision" since it is visible. If no portion of the "Allow change" and "Deny change" buttons are showing, you can answer TeaTimer's popup dialog (English language version) by pressing "A" on your keyboard for "Allow change" or "D" for "Deny change". Note: If you close the dialog without answering "Allow change" or "Deny change" the registry change is denied.

If you can't deal with the problem that way until it is fixed, you can:
  1. Apply one of the workarounds found in the following pinned (Sticky) thread that fixes the pop-up dialog so the buttons are visible:
    There are three (3) fixes published in that thread. They are:


  2. Disable TeaTimer as follows:
    • Go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced Mode > Tools > Resident.
    • Uncheck the following:
      • Resident "TeaTimer" (Protection of over-all system settings) Active.

Notes about the patches (b. and c. above):
 
ok thanks. i already can and have worked around it, but sometimes i recommend this program to be downloaded and run by people who are computer dummies.
i would like to tell them to run teatimer but they wouldn't know what to do when the box would pop up.
 
With or without the GUI bug, I personally do not feel that TeaTimer is the type of facility that should be recommended for all users. It takes some system knowledge to use it properly. If you deny the wrong change you can adversely affect the stability, functionality and security of your system.

That is the reason that during the installation of Spybot-S&D, TeaTimer is not automatically activated by default.
