SAW forcing On Top status over other programs
Lately (and it may be due to some of the recent changes), it seems that whenever I try to work with another application with SAW open, Saw will grab the focus away from whatever program I try to switch to from the taskbar.
One example is when I finish using CSG and wish to open Nero.
Another example is when I am trying to refer to text notes in Notepad.
It takes two or three attempts to grab/re-gain focus on the other application before SAW will finally stop grabbing it back from me... this happens even if I minimize SAW first.
This didn't happen before I recently updated SAW to 4.9 from 4.6 (I think was the last version I'd had on the tower)...
Is this a problem with my installation, or is there something new in SAW that forces it to insist on keeping the focus? If so, is there a way to defeat it?
Thanks,
DanT

Not sure... a few have mantioned the same thing... I did make some changes in the past few versions...
I'll look into it further.

Thanks Bob.
I wasn't sure if it was intentional.... I lose track of the changes.

I find that now if I Cntrl Tab to get to other programs, they don't switch until the second time I go around the whole list. Could this be related?

Ditto.

I generally have to go to the Windows button to get to my hidden task bar. Cursor to the bottom doesn't work.

I thought it was something funky with my computer.

That's been continuing to happen to me too for quite a long while. Thought it was fixed many versions back, but it's still there. I ended up resizing all my F-key files so the verticle size is just high enough to clear at least half of the taskbar underneath Saw when I pull the cursor down to the bottom of the monitor. That way I can still get to it when I need it. I'm not crazy about losing that one extra track in my max-track view, but at least it works.

Good advice Dan. I didn't even consider this because I expected the task bar to pop up over SAW. Seems like an easy fix.
Thanks,

That behaviour for the taskbar has always been there... the original F-Key defaults in SS always left a small gap at the bottom for the normal taskbar position.
In fact, that taskbar blockage happens for me on many different apps... not even involving SS or SAC.
