Responder chain question

I have several windows that represent a single document in my application. (It involves editing video, so it has a timeline window, a window with the movie in it, etc., sort of like Final Cut Pro does.)

I've added a menu item to the Window menu for showing/hiding the various windows. It's action is a method in my document class (such as -showTimelineWindow:).

When the app initially runs, it opens the various windows, and the menu items I have set up work fine, even as I switch windows. So if the timeline window is in front, the menu item is still enabled. If the movie window comes to the front, the menu item is still enabled.

However, if the user closes a window (I have it set not to release it in IB), then later shows it again using the menu item, when the newly shown window is in front, the menu item is no longer enabled. It seems as if the window isn't getting put back into the responder chain correctly. My "show" method just does this:

[ timelineWindow makeKeyAndOrderFront:sender ];

Is there something special I need to do to get it to work like it does initially, where when any of the windows related to the document are in front, the menu items work properly?

Thanks,
Darrin
