Hi Paul, Can't say that I tried this specifically but I think the problem is that it is not a "Window" as such (we used to call them dialogue boxes). I did look under the "Window" menu which typically lists all the open windows that CMD+` would cycle through and couldn't see the offending box/window listed - it only became visible again when I went to restart the computer.
I'm thinking that it belonged to some background "process?" which had hung - resulting in: > - I noticed that "compressing pdf image" (or similar) was showing in the > menu bar with the spinning clock type icon (like loading a web page) - there > was also a red dot next to it but clicking that just gave an error chime. And that when the computer went to quit this (process?) it brought the dialogue box back. At this point I'm out of my depth & sinking fast!! Cheers Neil -- Neil R.
