%%%--- Operating System, Graphics card ---
Windows 6.1.7601 (Win 7 Pro) 64-bit
Quadro 1000M

- Blender version with error ---

Tested in 55078 (2.66) and 56271 (2.67 RC1), both show the error.

- Short description of error ---

The green render progress in the Windows taskbar is up to date only in the currently selected window (of multiple windows belonging to the same Blender instance).
If you had the second window selected during rendering and switched back, the render progress at which you switched back stays in second window. It doesn't refresh to 0 even if you switch to this window now. In other words: You can't get the green stuff to disappear from your taskbar without re-rendering from that window and not touching the other one.

(1) is not horrible but not nice, either. (2) is slightly more annoying (and probably easier to fix, not sure if (1) is fixable at all) because you constantly have some half-finished render progress display in the taskbar even if you don't render, which is most of the time.

- Steps for others to reproduce the error (preferably based on attached .blend file) ---

Ctrl + Alt + W (duplicate Window)
F12 (Render)

(1)

Change to second window and back while rendering, then wait for it to finish

(2)

- Attachements ---

Screenshot to demonstrate what progress I'm talking about attached, both windows belong to the same Blender session.%%%

%%%This is a logic error in the jobs system. wm_jobs_timer sets/clears the progress on the active window but that can change of course.%%%

We currently don't have WIndows Ghost maintainer, so moving to TODO now http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.5/Source/Development/Todo/Install-OS#Windows

We'll solve it as soon we'll find one :)
