(First off...EVERYTHING (SP4 etc.) is absolutely up to date on my machine, and I own the newest versions of all my Adobe apps.)
Here's the scenario.
Tons of windows open, lots of work gettin' done, Open a file in (X) Adobe program and then remember I need to move a file somewhere or perform some little task. If I leave the dialogue open (that's the catch), and open an explorer window (for example), the Adobe window will either:
A. Prevent me from Alt-Tabbing to the other window, or
B. if I Windows+D to the desktop and then select the explorer window, Evil Adobe App will sometimes STEAL the focus right back and force me to deal with it's dumb OPEN dialogue.
Why are Adobe's Explorer Shell windows SO MODAL?
It drives me crazy... in addition, half the time Alt+tab switching doesn't work out of any Adobe app AT ANY TIME.
Is there anyway I can overide Focus stealing behavior in the registry? Or with a utility?
I notice this in Adobe products mostly, though not exclusively, and will post it elsewhere as well...
