Acrobat X windows shift location when a different, maximized app is opened

First, to clarify, when I say "maximize" I don't mean the new "full screen" feature in OS X Lion. I mean "maximizing" a window by using the Zoom key in OS X.
In OS X, I usually maximize my browser windows, but don't maximize my Acrobat windows. Also, I usually line up all windows, whether maximized or not, with the top of the screen.
However, every time I open a maximized app window (such as a browser window) when I already have Acrobat windows open, all of the Acrobat windows will shift their location automatically. Where they were lined up with the top of the screen before, now they will have moved a significant distance away from the top of the screen. It's always the same distance, too, for every window.
I'm not sure if this is caused by Lion, but I installed Acrobat X before upgrading to Lion, and I don't remember this happening in Snow Leopard.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be causing this?

In OS X 10.6 and prior, Expose' and Spaces had a separate System Preference setting, along with hot corners. One of the options was to force apps to open in a new space.
That changed to become Mission Control with OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. I haven't really used the feature in 10.8. I can't quickly find a useful Apple link, so I'll provide this 3rd-party 'Dummies book' link which might help you sort things out. Mouse and trackpad preferences also can be set to enable gestures that work in conjunction with Mission Control.

  • Finder window shifts up when maximised/fullscreen?

    When a Finder window is maximised (fullscreen view), it is normal. But whenever I try to move a file it will do this glitch thing and the whole window will move up. There will be a large black space at the bottom and you can't see the top of the viewing window, or the top of the folders in the side viewing panel. You're unable to sort files/folders by any criteria in the list view which is incredibly annoying. Is there some way to stop this happening? Before and after screenshots.

  • Office 2013 windows 'pop-under' when run as remote apps on Server 2008R2 from Windows 7 clients

    We have an environment with Windows 7 clients running Office 2013 via RDS on Windows Server 2008R2.
    When users double click emails from Outlook, they 'pop-under', forcing the user to relocate the window which has fallen behind the application's primary window, leaving behind a slight redraw of what is supposed to be the pop-up window. Users also experience
    difficulty opening application menu/help items and any other dialogue boxes in any/all of the other Office 2013 apps we've deployed via RDS.
    This issue persists only on Win7 PCs (WinXP does not exhibit this behaviour). The RDP clients range from 6.2.92 to 6.1.7601

  • Multiple windows shift wildly in different desktop directions

    During the past week I have problem with individual windows suddenly shifting in different direction. The windows shift to the edge of screen, often oscillating between the screen edges and returning to their original location. At times I cannot use the iMac (OS 10.5.6) because the window do not remain in place at any time. Tried turning Zoom off on Universal Åccess but even with Zoom turned off, the problem remains. Desperate to resolve this problem. Help gratefully received!

    nope.  cmd` in Preview  works only vaguely like that.  I'm very familiar with cmdTab  to switch between apps.  Oh my gosh, it also works that way in Mail and even Chrome.
    It used to be that cmd` would simply bring the bottom window to the top.  Simple, predictable, easily traverse all windows with cmd`.  Sorry I upgraded from X.5 directly to X.8; I don't know when they made  this change.  It's horrible.  It's modal; there's hidden information - if you just walk up to the computer  and start doing cmd`, what  window comes to the front is unpredictable because of the hidden information.
    cmd` flips the top two windows only if I move the topmost each time.  move cmd` move cmd` move cmd`
    If I use cmd` twice, then move the topmost, move cmd` cmd` move cmd` cmd` move cmd` cmd`
    it rearranges only the top three, but reverses direction so I revisit the middle one in between; I see them in this order: 1 2 3 2 1 2 3, sortof palindrome order.
    If  I never move any of them, I cycle through them all, never changing direction: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
    OK I just did an experiment.  I created both  situations:
    Windows are 1 2 3 4, front to back.  cmd` and window 2 comes to front.
    Windows are 1 2 3 4, front to back.  cmd` and window 4 comes to front.
    I couldn't get 3 to come to front without rearranging them in the middle, it's convoluted.
    Jobs is gone and the UX goes to ****.

  • 5th generation ipod not detected by my windows xp.  works fine on other pc.  performed necessary steps to remove and reinstall itunes but having same issue. is there a driver i can download to pc then direct to that specific location when installing?

    5th generation ipod not detected by my windows xp.  works fine on other pc.  performed necessary steps to remove and reinstall itunes but having same issue. is there a driver i can download to pc then direct to that specific location when installing?

    I have a similar issue - my iPod nano connects and is visible in Device Manager yet invisible in My Computer and iTunes. I've tried everything I can possibly think of to try and solve this myself, all in vain.
    Mine is a nano 4G. I've been using it for quite some time without the slightest problem. I have been using WINAMP instead of iTunes to manage my darling nano.
    Then, one fine day I bought a new computer and the nano would not show up in My Computer, though the nano display shows "Do not disconnect". On my old computer it worked (and still works) absolutely fine with win XP as well as with win7 (the later I currently use on my new/problematic computer, which I bought last summer and that's how long I've had this problem).
    Of course, after several first attempts I gave up and installed iTunes. I've tried using the Apple support article "iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows":
    - reset
    - fully charged,
    - cable works fine on two other computers
    - in normal or disk mode makes no difference
    - tried to find anything useful in the diagnostics mode
    - reinstalled iTunes several different times since then to the latest version
    - I've unplugged every other USB device except for my mouse and keyboard and tried several different USB ports on my motherboard (USB 3.0 and conventional), as well as trying different USB- related options in my BIOS.
    - I've never used any Mac with this ipod
    - I've tried fiddling with the win7 Services by stopping and restarting them and of course
    - uninstalling the iPod drivers in Device Manager. After such an uninstall the ipod would automatically be recognised and "ready for use", i.e. being invisible in My Computer.
    - Attempted to find any possible third-party conflict with msconfig or the possibility that my ipod is being confused for a network drive (for which I've disconnected my HDD, leaving only my SSD with the OS).
    Sometimes, iTunes would note that iPod service (or something, can't remember exactly) failed to install properly and asked to try and repair it. I would click YES! and voila - no change! The ipod would rarely show up in iTunes on my problematic computer like this:
    iTunes would warn me that the nano would need restoring so I would try and do it on my haunted machine upon which iTunes would freeze like you seen in the picture.
    Despite this, I've updated and restored the nano on my father's computer to the latest version without any problems. This though, did not solve my problem in any way.
    I can load music to my nano through my old computer (which for me is a real pain and hassle) and the gadget works normally in terms of its disconnected functionality.
    I've taken my nano to the local service for repair and they said it was fine. Mercifully, they didn't charge for the diagnostics service (gee, thanks for not ripping me off!).
    Here are two screengrabs from my Device Manager
    and Devices and Printers screens on my comp:
    That is my sad story as far as I can remember. It's most likely something with the drivers or something along those lines though I'm out of ideas at this point.
    If you think you have any idea PLEASR HELP, I'M DESPERATE!

  • HT6114 Can't save downloads to existing files??  In the "save as" box I use the little "search" window to locate where I want to put a new file but when found the location file does not operate.  And dropdown menu says "save to online acct"

    When I try to save an emailed-to-me document to an existing file on my hard drive by using the little "search" window the recipient file is inactive and does not open to recieve the document I want to save (nothing happens when I click on it and it's a subdued color).
    If I click through my files manually by starting on the desktop and working my way to the location of the recipient file I can save.
    This takes a lot of time and is DRIVING ME CRAZY!
    Please tell me I've just missed something obvious that can be fixed in a jiffy!?

    OMG!!  It also happens when I try to open a file from inside a program like Adobe Reader.  If I use the little corner search window all the files are inoperable.

  • Adobe acrobat pro 9.2 crashes in windows xp sp3 when closing a pdf

    Adobe acrobat pro 9.2 crashes in windows xp sp3 when I close a pdf. This means that if I have multiple files open, all of them close. I get an error message from windows that the problem is due to windows' Data Execution Prevention (DEP). I tried making Adobe an exception to windows' DEP and re-started the computer but this did not help the problem. Any ideas about how to fix this problem?

    So.. If we want to control the "hardware graphics acceleration", should it be done inside the Adobe Acrobat Pro ?
    If yes, which part of option should we changed ?
    If not, can someone tell me which way to setting this one ?
    Do anybody have other input ? This problem makes me crazy
    Thank you so much in advanced.

  • Do IMAQ Cast Image or IMAQ Linear averages give different results when using different computers that are running under Windows XP ?

    Hello
    I'm currently developping an image processing algorithm using Labview 7.1 and the associated IMAQ Vision tools. After several tests, I found a weird result. Indeed, I put the labview algorithm - including the IMAQ VI on the library to get sure that I use all the time the same VI - on my memory stick and used it on two different computers. I tested the same picture (still in my memory stick) and had two very different results.
    After several hours trying to understand why, I found that there were a difference between the results given by both computers at the very begining of the algorithm. Indeed, I used a JPEG file.
    To open it, I first create an Image with IMAQ Create (U8). Then, I open it.
    Then in my first sub-VI, I use IMAQ Cast Image to be sure that the picture is a U8 grayscale picture.
    Right after that, I use the IMAQ Linear Averages. The results of this VI are different on the two computers.
    I tried several time on the same picture : one computer always give me the same result but the two computers give me a different result. So there is no random variable on the results.
    So my question is : Do IMAQ Cast Image or IMAQ Linear averages give different results when using different computers that are running under Windows XP ?
    My bet is on IMAQ Cast Image but I'm not quite sure and I do not undestand why. The labview and IMAQ are the same on both computers.
    The difference between the two computer are above :
    Computer 1 :
    Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.20GHz with a RAM of 1Go. The processor is an Intel(R).
    The OS is windows XP Pro 2002
    Computer 2 :
    Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz with a RAM of 512Mo. The processor is an Intel(R).
    The OS is windows XP Pro 2002.
    If anybody can help me on this problem, it would be really helpful.
    Regards
    Florence P.

    Hi,
    Indeed it's a strange behaviour, could you send me your VI and your JPEG file, (or another file that reproduces) so that I could check this inthere ?
    I'll then try to find out what's happening.
