I tried the TweakUI setting, didn't change anything. My exact situation is that
I'm using a script to check for any instances of Firefox running. If it isn't
running then start it. If it is running then either switch to it or display a
list of windows. My script is:
if(anywindow("*firefox"))do
window.show("menux *firefox")
else do
do("c:\\programs\\mozilla firefox\\firefox.exe")
endif
This is set to run by clicking on a button that is alongside the active window
buttons.
A command button set to "window.show(menu)" to see all windows does the same
thing. Strange thing is that this is happening to more programs than just
Firefox. OpenOffice, Thunderbird and Pidgeon exhibit the same behavior. They
won't switch between their own foreground and background windows. Only if
another application has the foreground window will they switch. Other
applications, like Notepad, work fine however.
Thanks for your help.
