Hi Bill,
I'm not sure what you are saying is wrong. That *is* the correct behavior.
It works precisely the same way in Finder windows in Mac OS 9.1.
Are you perhaps confusing layer switches between applications with window
layer switches within the same application? Within the same application,
you should be able to command-drag title bars without bringing windows to
the front. But command-clicking in another application's window will result
in that application (and hence that window) coming to the front.
