Hi Bob,
I have the same thing happening here but since I have a lot of other
Win apps that also act this way I did not consider it a bug.

Greetings from a very warm and sunny west coast, normally referred

I just had a chance to compare Mac vs. Win versions of 2.7.1 (side
by each) and a number of basic UI idiosyncrasies (bugs?) really
highlighted themselves on the Win side of things, and I was
wondering if this is new to v2.7.1 or just new observations for
me. The most frustrating one is not being able to get the whole of
the Rev UI and the opened stacks to be the topmost windows (with
other Win apps open), when clicking on any of the Rev UI windows or
an open stack window.
For example, if I have a stack open with the message box open (and
no other Win app running) I will see the basic Revolution interface
bar, the Tools palette, the Message Box window, and the stack
window. If I now open, say, Win Explorer it opens on the top of
everything (correct/expected behaviour), but normal Windows
behaviour then means I should be able to click on any visible part
of the stack, or the Rev UI (Tools palette, Message Box, etc.) and
everything to do with the Rev UI including the open stack windows
should all come to the front. However, only the window you click
on comes to the front, except in the case of clicking on the main
Rev interface bar and then just some of the Rev components (not
all !!) come to the front. I say "not all" as I know the
Documentation doesn't, but I haven't had time to try every
component !!
I guess this is because Rev does not bind all of its components
(and any open stack windows) together, as is standard Windows
practice with other apps.
I can't find anything on Bugzilla which is strange as I'm sure this
sort of behaviour has existed for some time. Am I missing a pref
or something, or is this really just life with Rev running in
Windows ?
Thanks, Bob...
PS. setting the Backdrop to true does not help !!
