Window displays as front window, but clicking on it shows window behind it

[Phil]

Hi Scotte,

Just a quick, yes I've seen this, really annoying,
I just don't recall what the circumstances were...

Not even sure it was limited to Omnis only.
I'll try to remember to make note of it next time.

regards
Phil.

I’ve noticed when this is about to happen, the cursor gets all crazy fluttering between the normal pointer to a pointing finger.  If I move the front window slightly, then it becomes solid as the front window.  I don’t know if that helps at all.  Maybe after opening the window it can move itself over a pixel?

Just before I display that message, I have both a $bringtofront as well as a "Queue bring to top” for good measure. It is the top window, but trying to click on that top window actually brings the window below it to the front. There are no evToTop events being trapped by either window.
