Guest Michael K. Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 Hi all, All of a sudden, when I have several applications opened I am no longer able to open / maximize app's window by clicking its panel on the Taskbar. The window simply will not get focus and the only way to get to it is by minimizing all opened windows. I searched the groups and couldn't find any anwer. If this question has been answered before, I'd appreciate the link. Any suggestions welcome! TIA, Michael

This happened to me yesterday; I minimized the two other windows to see the one that wouldn't come forward, closed it and reopened (by clicking Reply again). It worked fine the next time. Specifically, it was an NG reply using Thunderbird. The other two opened windows were Thunderbird and Firefox. I mention what window, wondering if it's a malady specific to Thunderbird, since its Reply window sat back behind the other windows, even though it was brought to focus when its Taskbar button was clicked. You know it's highlighted (somewhere) because the Thunderbird window in front of it changed to the inactive color. This window isn't off-screen either; all my Reply windows open in the same spot, in the same size.. as did the following window after closing the troublesome one. -- Joe =o)
