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?
