Re: Window Z-order for a new window

Here's a case I see a lot: If CW is compiling and there are errors, CW
displays a window with a list of those errors. If CW is compiling in the
background, that window appears on top of the current application's windows
every time, but it doesn't get focus.

I haven't used CW recently, so I haven't seen this myself. Does it matter what the frontmost app is?


BTW, while we're on this topic, how can I set Mac OS X to use classic window
layering?

There is no built-in support for this.

I.e., to get all windows of an application to stay together
instead of interleaving windows of different applications. I absolutely
despise the Mac OS X approach to layering windows, and years ago I had
something that changed it to use the classic approach. It still works as
long as I just upgrade my OS, but I don't know how to do it to my new Tiger
install.

You must have installed some third-party extension that does this. Perhaps that explains the CW window layering problem too, but that's just speculation.
