OK, I'll try my best to describe this and maybe someone
can help.
Outlook is opened. You double click a message to open it.
Then you search in the address book search on the toolbar
and open a contact in a third window. Your goal is to
copy the address into the email you opened previously.
However the opened email message is now behind the open
Outlook window. If you click on the message button on
the task bar, it comes to the front but the
address/contact window that was open, it is now behind
the Outlook main window. If you click on it to bring it
to the front along with your message window, it comes to
the front, but your message window is now behind your
Outlook main window again. This process repeats until
you fling the machine out the real glass window.
If you minimize Outlook, all is fine obviously. If you
Alt-Tab either of the two windows with the other one as
the top level window, then it reorders them so it works
fine from that point on. It's like when you open those
child windows from the main parent Outlook window, the Z-
Order gets screwed up so both windows have a lower/higher
number than Outlook so that the main Outlook window is
always between them when maximized.
If that makes any sense to anyone, can someone tell me
how to correct this issue or if you have experienced this
as well?
