2nd window

[Guest]

Hi, has anyone else seen this situation before? You are working on one window then open up another window. In the first window you click on a link and then you go to the second window to wait for the first window to finish loading. After the first window loads, the first window comes to the top of the desktop and blocks the second and you have to click on the second window to get back to it. I think it doesn't do this in the regular IE.

It doesn't happen all the time, but I've seen it quite a lot. I've never bothered investigating, but maybe the pages which push in front are using SetFocus() when they load??

Oops, that was me BTW, wasn't logged in...

And yes, it happens quite often in regular IE too.

We've seen this happening in cafe setups - It's bad because in some cases the second window is the login screen for email access, but it's hidden and unavailable behind the first window. We actually cannot deploy anymore PWB stations until we can figure this out.

See the posts about Syndetics windows - I believe Scott said it has something to do with Window timing, and even though Syndetics has said they will be changing their format, Scott is still working on a fix for the timing / focus problem.

The child window losing focus is confirmed by design from Microsoft when hosting the web browser control. We are working on getting it fixed.

The focus, ReszieTo, and MoveTo, are what we are concentrating on, and should hopefully have them fixed before we release PWB v2.05.

We are pleased to announce we have a fix for the PWB problem with focus.

Please feel free to test it and let me know if it works for your site. If we do not find any bugs in this version we will be officially releasing by May 30, 2005.

Thank you for your patients.
