Windows 7 Taskbar Icon Highlight Sticks

Windows 7 Taskbar Icon Highlight Sticks After running Win 7 for some unknown period of time, the taskbar icon highlight starts to stick (video demo here: http://screencast.com/t/l5LhJ2uM). If I restart or kill explorer.exe and relaunch, it goes away.

"I found that Shift-Right Clicking on any taskbar item brings up the pre-7 context menu and after it's dismissed, the highlight is not stuck any more.

No idea what's causing this though, but I hope it's a monthly-update-fixable type of bug."

This happened to me until I upgraded my laptop's graphics driver to the real nVidia driver, not the default one Windows used.
