Hi Nigel,
Could you try doing a clean re-install of SMR on Win 8.1?
As in, exit SMR, uninstall the old version, download and install the latest release from our site.
You could also try locking your taskbar in place and combining the buttons and hiding the labels of the tasks (taskbar properties)
If you\'re still seeing this after the re-install, please send us a quick note using the form below and we\'ll help you fix this:

Thanks,

Could you try the Lock the Taskbar option? This will create a re-sizable partition between the start button and that taskbar buttons thereby preventing the overlapping.
