I noticed in Mathematica 7 (this in on XP, SP2) that when I have a Palettes window open (I am talking about the Palettes which come as part of Mathematica 7 itself), then when I click on my notebook window, the Palettes remain in FRONT of my notebook window, blocking the view, and I have to manually move them to the side. They never seem to want to go to the BACK of the notebook window. They want to remain in the front of my notebook. Please see the following screen shot, where I clicked on my notebook window, and you can see that it is the one which has the current focus, yet, the Palette window did not go to the background as one would expect things to bechave on windows. http://12000.org/tmp/dec_12_2008/Mathematica7_windows_problem.PNG Is this by design, or may be this can be changed by some command or a preference setting? Otherwise, I think this behavior should really be fixed. Thanks, Nasser
