This question has been asked three times before on the list, but
has not been answered, so I figure there's no harm in asking it again
to see if somebody has figured it out...
Background: If app A is active, and the user option-clicks on a
window belonging to app B, not only does app B come active as usual,
app A also hides. This is apparently intentional and documented
behavior, although I was unaware of it until today. Wacky.
The problem: Unfortunately, I want to use option-clicks in my app,
and I want to take clicks even when I'm not active (my window is
floating and usable even when my app is not the active app). So this
behavior gets in the way; the user just wants to option-click in my
window, and the option-click hides the active app, which was not
their intention.
Any way to turn off this facility? I am happy with a workaround
that works only on 10.4, as my app will be 10.4-only anyway...
Thanks!
