Has this happened to anyone? Starting a few days ago, I'm sometimes seeing new tasks running in the task list even though I have "no new tasks" selected. The event log says I'm not getting any new ones, but new tasks appear on the task tab after the current tasks are completed. Very strange. At first I thought I was just mistaken but I waited some more and kept seeing more tasks appear.

When looking at the tasks list, do you have "Show all tasks" selected? Otherwise, non-running tasks aren't shown by default.

That might be the problem. I never noticed that button before, I must have pressed it by accident.

It defaults to only showing running tasks. This feature was put into place a while back due to the fact that BOINCMGR.EXE communicates with BOINCCMD.EXE via TCP/IP, and for those people who had 1000+ tasks on hand, would overwhelm BOINC Manager while trying to load a list of queued workunits. This made BOINC Manager very unusable and unstable.

New to me... :)

You meant BOINCMGR.EXE communicates with BOINC.EXE :)

Indeed. Sorry for the confusion.
