There is nothing wrong in your configuration. This is almost certainly a Java bug. This Java bug seems to be fixed in some releases of Java and then to reappear in newer releases. For example: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4841881 Alt tab with Windows L&F moves focus to the application menubar See also (Netbeans is a large application written using Swing, that is, the same Java technology as XXE): http://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=46826 Therefore there is not much we, XMLmind, can do to fix this bug. A possible workaround seems to change from the Windows Look&Feel to the Metal Look&Feel. This is done by using "Options|Preferences", "General" section and choose "Metal" from the "Style:" combobox. More info: http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/generalOptions.html I've tested this workaround (with latest XXE 4.9.1 and latest Java 1.6.0_26 runtime) and it worked fine for me. -- XMLmind XML Editor Support List [email protected] http://www.xmlmind.com/mailman/listinfo/xmleditor-support
