Hello,
One of the more annoying bugs I've noticed with Excel X (there are a
few to choose from..) is that if you click in the *content* area of a
document window, the window does not come to the front (but Excel still
activates). Only a click in the *title bar* of a window appears to
bring it to the front.
This does not occur in Word X (I haven't looked at PowerPoint), and
is doubly strange because
1) I'd think MS would use the same window-handling code from one app to
the next (of course, that assumes rational behavior..) and
2) because this function (that a click should bring a window to the
front) should be built into the window class/routines themselves, and
MS should have no say in overriding them (I thought they gave up on
their dreadful experiment of rewriting the Mac Toolbox after the
equally dreadful Word 6..)
My question is, is there a way I could write a hack to correct this
behavior, possibly using Unsanity's APE?
