DriveCleanser "Show status" is bugged

Thread needs solution

In junction this issue was already posted back in 2012 for TI 2011 I notice that this issue is still persistant 3 years later! This is really embarrasing.
https://forum.acronis.com/forum/28916

Using Acronis 2015 Build 6525 on Windows 8.1 pro x64 the Drive Cleanser will minimize to system tray and cannot be maximized again.

1. double click on the Drive Cleanser Status icon in system tray will show up an UAC dialogue. Confirming UAC will open Acronis but not show the status

2. right click on the Drive Cleanser Status icon in system tray, "Show status"will show UAC. Confirming it will open Acronis but not show the status

3. After completion the tray icon will just disappear. No message of success anything appears.

Please fix this!

4. In addition to that I noticed that DriveCleanser occasionally causes an error during operation. The progress is shown wrong (e.g. 435% and counting) and technically he did not delete the disk. It was not deleted after completion.

Thanks for looking into the issue and your feedback on this.

bumped because there is no official comment on this yet this bug still exists for a very long time now.

Just experienced the same thing with the latest build - at least if you hover the mouse over the icon in the system tray it shows % complete but considering this has clearly been a bug for a long time can we please get it fixed.

Cannot test it in ATIH 2016 beta, because Drive Cleanser does not work at all there. Otherwise I will check it and raise it again.
