Cmd-N to create new window doesn't operate on frontmost app!?

Hi there
It's second nature for me to cmd-tab to another app, then hit cmd-N to open a new window in the frontmost app.
I notice however in 10.6 that cmd-N doesn't operate on the frontmost application, but rather on the app of a window that my mouse cursor is on.
So if Terminal is the active application with a window open, then I cmd-tab to Safari so that it is frontmost, but my mouse cursor is still over the Terminal window, cmd-N opens a new Terminal window.
Is this the expected behaviour? It feels very wrong.

I just noticed that this is only happening with Terminal - so another app is frontmost but the mouse cursor is over a Terminal window, cmd-N operates on Terminal, NOT the frontmost app.

why would you steal your music id password? ..nokia id / account is different from windows live id btw.
maybe you already have a windows live account, thats why its showing the that problem. check settings > email+accounts > you should ideally have only one(1) 'microsoft account' in there. if you want to use another one, you might want to just 'change' the existing one with your new credentials.

Mac user OS 10.6.8 Firefox 6.0.2. Click the Firefox icon in dock, program does not open new window. Type cmd+N to open new window, cmd+T to open new tab or cmd+L to enter URL, nothing happens. What causes this, and what can be done?

It's strange. The problem apparently resolved itself after I ran TechTool on it. When I clicked on Firefox last night, I had no problem opening a window. Thanks for your help. (As to your previous post, the focus was on Firefox and neither the speed keys nor the menu bar would open a window or tab of allow me to enter a URL to open a window. Strange!)

My pinned tab for Firfox 4, for Window 7 keeps creating new windows. When it never used to. Why is it making another window when I already have a tab at the bottom?

My pinned tab for Firefox 4, for Window 7 keeps creating new windows when I click it. When it never used to. Why is it making another window when I already have a tab at the bottom?

Hmmm, mine stack up over the pinned icon as you would expect (Win7Pro x64). Is there anything special about the way you're starting up Firefox? Security sandbox? Using any command-line switches?

FF4 on Snow Leopard: Cmd-N, "New Window", doesn't open, is in Window menu, but isn't accessible. Add-ons all disabled.

I installed FF4 yesterday onto my Mac running Snow Leopard 10.6.7. Today I can't open a "new window" using either the "New Window" menu under File, or using Cmd-N. (Don't know if it would have worked yesterday - I didn't try.) I disabled all (4) of my add-ons, restarted and the new windows are still failing to open. The new windows are listed in the "Window" menu, but even using that, I can't open them. Showing all open windows, using the built-in Mac "Expose" (F9) feature also doesn't show these windows.

Well, today my New Window functionality is working fine, not fast, but it works. Nothing has changed - no new software or OS updates. Oh, well, thanks for looking at this.

Spaces: create new window makes same Space slide in

I"m just starting to try to use Spaces, after seeing the clear benefit to it.
I have Space 1 set up with a couple of finder windows to make moving things around easy and in Space 2, I also want Finder windows, but when I hit CMD-N to create one, I'm sent back to Space 1 and a new window is created there!
Also, if I create a new folder on the desktop in Space 2, then open it, I am also taken back to Space 1 where that folder opens.
this tells me that I'm not going to get what I need, or that I just don't yet fully understand Spaces.. can somebody shine a light on this for me?
is it that Finder is either assigned only to that first Space, or to All?
My goal is to have Spaces where both Applications and Finder windows reside.
thank you!

I think you want the Finder assigned to all Spaces so new finder windows will open in the current Space you are in. To assign the Finder to all Spaces, it is not quite as straight forward as assigning other apps to all Spaces.
Do this to assign the Finder to all Spaces:
1. Go to the Spaces tab in System Preferences;
2. Click the plus ( + ) to add an app and select Other;
3. Navigate to the folder Macintosh HD» System» Library» Core Services» Finder.app
and click the Add button.
Back in the Spaces prefpane, select Every Space next to the Finder.app under the Space column.
If it doesn't work how you wanted, delete it from the Spaces assignment by clicking the minus ( - ) button.

GetURL spawned new window doesn't have a parent

I have a Flash application that is opening a new window via
getURL.
getURL("
http://www.microsoft.com",
"EMMWindow");
The new window has a link that triggers a javascript that
attempts to redirect the parent window via
opener.location.href='x';
However, when that javascript is called, it returns an error
that shows that the opener is undefined - e.g., the window that was
opened is effectively an orphan - it doesn't know its parent.
Is this an issue with getURL or am I doing something wrong?
Any help would be appreciated.

I think this is an html/javascript issue. I don't think
GetURL is not going to create a child window, just a plane ole
window, so there is no opener associated with it. That window would
have to have been opened by the other window and named EMMWindow
before getURL filled it up with something.
You may have to communicate via javascript to get the page to
open the window as an opener.
Of course, I could be wrong.

In the last several versions of Firefox Pop-up Site that should be blocked are creating new windows. Why?

I have several computers. On each computer Firefox operates different. On the system I am writing these words. Every time I open a link Foxfire opens a new set of windows instead of a new tab. On my laptop Firefox opens a new tab when I want to open a new link. I think that this the way it should be. I have looked in the options to try and fix this but there is NO option to correct this. Both the computer are running the same version of Firefox. On the system I am writing this when new window pops up it creates two windows, one with a web page and one with tiles. I am running Windows 7 on all my systems not Windows 8. The laptop does not do this. If a unwanted page pops up; say a Web Cam site or Dating site that Pop-up Blocker use to block appears there is a race to close it because Firefox switches back to the page you were on before the new windows appeared. The Firefox on this system I am writing on also does not allow scrolling when something is being highlighted anymore.
I use Firefox because it allows me the configure it to use Applications on my computer to open, view, and save material from the Internet unlike the other browser that are available. Can someone fix these bugs?

It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware.
Look thru your add-ons list and make sure you know what each one is
there for. Also,
check the programs that are on your computer
'''''Windows > Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs.'''''
Go thru the list and use a web search to check any that you don't
know what they are.<BR><BR>

After upgrading from Mac 10.6 to 10.9, firefox creates new windows by an "expanding" animation instead of just appearing. How do I get the old behavior back?

On Mac 10.6.8, when I create a new window by hitting command-N or going to the file menu, or if another page creates a new window, the new window just appears instantaneously. However, after upgrading to Mac 10.9.2, new windows appear by an "expanding" animation, which takes slightly longer than the old "appearing" behavior. (Other apps on my Mac do not exhibit the "expanding" behavior, only firefox.)
Was this behavior intentional? How can I get the old behavior back?
I am using Firefox 28.0.

Hi __trout__,
Go to the mac system preferences and click on Doc. There is a Minimize window using.... select the animation there.
Hope this helps.

Creating new window on another window

Hi Friends ,
I am designing a form for payroll . I defined all the boxes in one window and the respective headings . Now I need to pass data for earning and deductions to the respective columns . I have 5 columns for earnings and 3 columns for description .
I have create 2 new windows window 1 and and window2 over top of the box window . window1 will cover is also the main window and will contain data for all the earnings . window2 will cover the data for deduction and is a var window .
Rite now i am able to get data in the window1( MAIN ) window . No data seems to be showing up in the window2(VAR) window . Is my approach correct ? Please advise .
Thanks ,
Hari

Hari,
the repeated items can print only in main window. So u call 2 diff elements and call both into the main window. First element has Earnings and second for Deduction.
Now in form, u design like 1 window for earnings. 2nd is for deduction. In programe
write as below
            CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'
              EXPORTING
                element = 'EARN'
                function = 'APPEND'
                window   = 'MAIN'
              EXCEPTIONS
                OTHERS   = 7.
            CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'
              EXPORTING
                element = 'DEDUCT'
                function = 'APPEND'
                window   = 'MAIN'
              EXCEPTIONS
                OTHERS   = 7.
Hope it will work
