New windows always appear behind everything else

If I click a 'new message in mail' or anything similar in Leopard that creates a new window, it always puts it behind everything. Is there any way to fix this bug?

Master items always appear at the bottom of the stack.

How to remove black "blocked plug-in" window that opens with iPhoto. It covers iPhoto and everything under it. I've right and left clicked the black window, restarting the computer, shutting down the computer, but the window always appears when I open iPhoto and it will not move or go away. It stays on my screen (covering my desktop icons) even after I quit iPhoto. How can I get it off my screen?

Which version if iPhoto and MacOS X do you have?
Do you have any iPhoto plug-ins installed?
Open the folder /Library/Application Support/iPhoto/Plugins/
To navigate to that folder, open the folder "Library" directly on your Macintosh HD, then inside the Library folder go to Application Support, then iPhoto. Is there anything installed?

When I open a new window, it opens behind the exist ing window instead of in front of it. How can I fix this?

When I click on a link and I choose the option to open link in a new window, it opens behind the currently open window instead of in front of it. This is a real nuisance. Why is this happening, and how do I fix it?

Hi alanbala,
There are several possible reasons why the new window opens in the background and not in the foreground by default.
# another installed program is causing this
# the Firefox main window is set to Always on Top
# probably a Windows 7 bug
# possibly a Firefox bug [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790013 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790013]
What you can do is
# update your Windows 7 to the latest security patches
# open Mozilla Firefox in Safe Mode (see KB article [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]])
# evaluate the other programs installed on your computer
# open new links on a new tab
Let us know your progress. I will be following this support thread.

New window not appearing

While working on Oracle Discoverer. When the user opens a report and clicks on the search button a new window should appear but it doesn't.

Is there a way to have new windows/links open behind the current open window, running Mavericks?

I would like to have new windows that open from links, or when I "right-click, open new window", to open behind the window I am reading from, working from, browsing, etc. I often am doing research, and opening multiple supplemental links, but do not like having to click back to the page I am working from every time.
A separate choice when I right click, to "open in new window behind current window" would be great!

There is no add on that I know of that can do this, but there has been an implementation found for javascript via this link:
*[http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17570412/prevent-document-losing-a-focus-when-new-tab-is-opened Stackoverflow: prevent document from losing a focus when a new tab is opened]
* There is also an about:config entry: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction Browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction] that is explained wht to do when clicking on a link in a webpage that requires a new window open, but it does not restrict the focus of the tab
*[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus/?src=search Tab Mix Plus has similar features check this one out too. ]

New tabs always appear in new window--how to change back?

Just upgraded to FF4. Now, when I try to open links in a new tab (by Ctrl-clicking), they always open in a new window. Subsequent links also open in the new window, so I'm forced to have two open windows, rather than just have all tabs in one window.
SOLVED after reboot. I couldn't mark my own reply as a solution, for whatever reason.

# Press Alt+T
# Click Options
# Click Tabs category
# Check the option "Open new windows in new tabs instead"

Can I move the in-focus panel to the "back", so that new windows/dialogs appear in front of it?

Hey,
I'm currently trying to implement this vi ( http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&thread.id=157121&view=by_date_ascending&page=1 ) into a folder selection sequence of my main GUI. The problem I am having, however, is that the dialog created by the .vi (which itself is just a call to an associated .dll) is showing up behind my GUI. If the user is attentive enough to notice the new window showing up in his taskbar and clicks on it to bring it to the front, then everything is fine. I'd prefer, though, that the dialog showed up in front of my GUI.
I can't seem to replicate this quickly in a simple .vi. It might be an issue of Vista [dev machine] versus XP [application machine], or built application versus IDE, or or or...
If there's a way to programmatically change windows focus, or "send current window to the back", that would probably solve the problem.
If not, I can try harder to replicate the issue in a simple VI and upload it.

As long as you make the calling vi front panel window the owner of the dialogue box, it should always stay in front of it's owning window until it is dismissed.

How do I tell Logic to open new windows always on my external monitor (when available)?

Hey guys
I finally got my own copy of Logic 9 from the App Store and I'm very happy with it.
I have a question though. Logic always open new windows (e.g. when opening a project or when opening a plugin, etc.) in my Macbook Pro's monitor, but at home I have a big external screen which I want to use as the main screen.
I already have set the external monitor to be the main screen in the System Preferences, so the dock and menu bar always display correctly on my external monitor when available. But Logic still uses my MBP's monitor as main monitor, so I have to move the windows to the external display every time I open them.
Is there a way to tell Logic to use my external monitor as default when it's availble?
Thanks, Josh

There is a thing in OSX that is called "key focus" or "focus".
When you type on your keyboard (text or any keyboard shortcut), the OS has to know where to send that command to if you have multiple windows open (or multiple applications). The answer is, it directs the command to the window that has "key focus".
The key focus window is the one with the active window title bar (not grayed out) and the colored three buttons in the upper left corner (unfortunately, Logic doesn't use colors).
Now to Logic:
Logic follows the same rules. However, you have to pay attention to multi-pane windows like the Arrange window. This is a window with more windows (panes) inside. Now the question is, which window pane inside that window has key focus. If you look closely, then you see that the window frame changes their shade slightly (sometimes very hard to see). Pay especially attention to plugins. They also have key focus when selected and can receive keystrokes.
Finally to your question.
You cannot set the preferences on which monitor screen Logic opens a window. This is determined by the location of the window that has currently key focus. Any new window and also alert windows and dialog windows (Save, Open) will open on that screen.
So if you want a window to open on you external screen, click on a Logic window on that screen.
I have five monitors on my Logic setup and I use a QuicKeys macro (push one button) that sets the key focus to my main monitor and now any new window will open on that screen screen.
Hope that helps

When I open a link in a new window it opens BEHIND the current window.

links that open a new window open the window behind the current window instead of in front of it. This just started happening in the last week or so.

Thanks, Jinjin

Hi,
      We used the below logic :
<htmlb:button id      = "help"
                    text    = "Help"
                    design = "standard"
                    onClientClick = "window.open('http://www.sap.com')"
                    tooltip = "Help"
                    />
It worked fine for us.
Try this.
Thanks,
Greetson

Why do new windows always open up pinned to the top left portion of my screen?

I have disable the application frame in Photoshop CC and now all new windows open up in the top left corner of my screen BEHIND all of the brush and tool setting windows. How can I change this?

Do you have your panels docked?
Could you post a screenshot?

New window always open in background

Hello
I've set safari to be assigned a specific space number in Spaces (in practice, #2)
When i click an hyperlink in an application, (for example in mail ) it goes to the specified Space (Space #2) but then always open in the background of safari. (I don't see the window and have to look for it)
Does everyone have the same behavior ?
How have it open in the foreground ?

I think this is a bug , but it is now cleared.
I've played with safari preferences and revert to what i prefer
(In Safari preference, under Tabs DON'T choose "Select tabs and windows as they are created")
Played also with Spaces assignations.
Closed Safari and relaunched
And now i get new windows in the front. Go figure...

Starting yesterday, Firefox would not anchor to a single window on my MacBook Pro running Lion. Every time I change to a new window, Firefox appeared with a flash. Could not assign it a window using Mission Control. Any ideas?

If I open Firefox and attempt to scroll to an open window on my macbook, the screen flashes and Firefox appears in the new window. Firefox screen flashes after scrolling to it even if already resident on that window.

Windows 7 Taskbar crashes - everything else ok??

I have a Ideacenter K300 running Win7 home premium 64bit
Recently it developed an issue where the taskbar on the bottom of the screen crashes [ie is no longer visible] but everything else is still running fine. The Start icon is still there and working and all the desktop icons are fine too.
It just seems to go away randomly. Does not seem to correspond to anyl specific action. I'll just notice it is gone!
Tried backing up to the last restore point but that did not help.
Can it be restarted without rebooting? Rebooting brings it back, for awhile, then it is gone again ...
Anyone else have this issue?
thanks!

Did you check the autohide option in the task bar properties?was it enabled?
Also run the sfc /scannow command in DOS as the administrator
Cheers and regards,
