(Try resizing the gnucash window and moving it aside.) Yes and yes, long explanation: Auto-save is turned on in Preferences->General: [x] Show auto-save confirmation question Auto-save time interval: [ 5] minutes I minimized gnucash this time with changes and one account open, was twiddling something on another workspace and got the auto-save popup (which worked fine). First time I have actually seen it. Then I tried activating another program on the same workspace as gnucash (which was on the background, not minimized). After twiddling a while on the same workspace I checked gnucash and indeed it had become unresponsive again - and I never noticed an auto-save dialog. Resizing, moving and minimizing the gnucash window had no effect... until I realized the damned dialog is hiding behind another window (pop-under eh?). [ So looks your evaluation is right on the spot... when gnucash is not active the popup seems to be actually pop-under, and it is *not* brought to the front when gnucash window is activated/unminimized. Same seems to happen if you click on another gnucash window (for example preferences) - the auto-save dialog is sent to the background and not brought to the front like one would expect with modal dialogs. (This is how it seems to work on KDE at least) ] Thanks, -- Heikki Hokkanen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
