I've never seen that behaviour - and I have been aware of the annoyance of the dialog box sometimes being hidden. I wonder if there is a configuration issue here, since I don't see it?

That sounds reasonable. I have focus-stealing prevention set to Medium, with policy set to Click to Focus. Neal, what are your settings? Anne

Set it to Medium and see if the problem goes away? Anne

Did anybody discover the usefulness of focus-stealing prevention? I've never found a single instance where it helped, but a lot of instances where it's annoying, to a degree related to is level: highly annoying when "high", medium annoying when "medium" etc. Since I've totally disabled it, I'm happy. Is it just me?
