Application disappears unexpectedly (goes into background)

[Craig Newman]

Clicking on a titlebar sends no messages to LC, only to the OS, essentially saying “bring me to the front”.

The fact that all the card windows reappear when you do that seems very odd to me. If I hide a stack and then go somewhere else on my computer, that stack does not reappear just because I brought LC back to the front. Hidden stacks stay hidden until explicitly made visible, as they should.

Jacque’s  suggestion seems reasonable, but it seems like a long shot.

Have you tried restarting?

Can’t wait to hear how this (hopefully) resolves.

Whenever I click inside one of the stack windows which doesn't have current focus, all the stack windows disappear and reappear only when I switch to another application and back again. Activating a stack window by clicking on the window title bar works normally (i.e. does not disappear).
