I get the following on the task bar after closing Armory in all my W7 machines. I started noticing it since 0.93 (or perhaps even the one before that). The notification bubble fades and eventually disappears as expected but the Armory icon lingers and would only disappear with a mouse pointer hover. No biggie really but I guess I was hoping they'd go away in 0.94:
I didn't touch that code at all. Did you try addnode=127.0.0.1 in your bitcoin.conf?
It started to appear before 0.94 so it has nothing to do with the release. Again, no biggie as it does not affect the functionality of Armory. I was just wondering why it started to appear around the earlier iteration of 0.93 or possibly even much earlier in 0.92.3 (don't remember specifically).
I tried addnode=127.0.0.1 in bitcoin.conf but it did not fix it.
