There's no "maybe" about it. I'm amazed that I don't see users squawking about
this constantly. I wish I had a nickel for every time I have accidentally
built my application (during which time all work comes to a halt, of course)
when all I wanted to do was bring a window to the front. Bring back the good
old days when the rule was universal: in every window of every Mac
application, clicking in the window if it wasn't in front always did one and
only one thing - bring it to the front. m.
