1187 windows goes to background

[mohikaani]

When I try to open seperate windows it instantly goes to background. It responses to keyboard strokes though. By draging the window I can get it back to foreground. This applies atleast to

• Album art
  Auto-tag from web

And some scripts

• PersonalTagEnhancer
  SQL viewer
  Extract Fields

If I override Skin theme with windows theme it doesn't happen so often, maybe 50%.
I have also tried a clean install with trixmotos backup script but it didn't have any affect.

I'm using Windows Vista x64 SP1 and MM 3.0.5.1187

Anyone having the same problem?

Same problem here. I can bring the windows to the foreground by switching to another window and then back. It's a bit annoying, especially as I have to newly organize about 10,000 files and I need these windows quite often...

Are you using Minilyrics and its embedder, by any chance?

I experience the same for certain windows under certain circumstances. The trouble I'm having is defining these circumstances. I just have MonkeyRok installed, but not running.

All windows can be retrieved by Alt+Tabbing to MediaMonkey except for Auto-Tag from Amazon which sometimes will remain behind the main program window (but not always).

The main issue is trying to reproduce it to find what's causing this behavior.

I made a temporary fix to this with an Autohotkey script. The idea is to first maximize the window and then restore it. Here's the code:

Code: Select all

#SingleInstance, Force
;#NoTrayIcon

loop
{
	IfWinActive ahk_class TFImage.UnicodeClass
	{
		winmaximize
		winrestore
		WinWaitActive ahk_class TFMainWindow.UnicodeClass
	}
	
	IfWinActive ahk_class TFAutoTag.UnicodeClass
	{
		winmaximize
		winrestore
		WinWaitActive ahk_class TFMainWindow.UnicodeClass
	}
	sleep 100
}
return

I also made an exe of the script if you don't want to download AutoHotkey yourself. It can be found HERE

I experience the problem sometimes too with the option window.
I'm using 1201

[mohikaani]

I can confirm that it's not corrected in 1202 either. While waiting I edited the sciript:

Code: Select all

#SingleInstance, Force   ; Needed since the hotkey is dynamically created. 
;#NoTrayIcon

GroupAdd, MM, ahk_class TFImage.UnicodeClass
GroupAdd, MM, ahk_class TFAutoTag.UnicodeClass

max:
winmaximize
winrestore
WinWaitClose

winwait ahk_group MM
goto max

Can you give any steps to reliably reproduce it? I haven't seen this.

As I said earlier

If I override Skin theme with windows theme it doesn't happen so often, maybe 50%.

There's no other way to reproduce it.

Same problem here, using 3.0.6.1190, although switching to the Windows Theme seems to fix it (haven't been using long enough with Windows Theme to see if it recurs occasionally as per other posters).
