Hi Todd,
I've also experienced the same problem with the "Save coordinates" dialog window. I agree with you this is pretty frustrating. While the bugs are being fixed, be aware that, as in all other Mac OSX application windows, you can toggle between windows of an application with the cmd+` keys combination. Works just like cmd+tab, which switches between application, but does so through the application's windows.
HTH,
ciao

Greetings~

Using Bill Scott's Fink-installed Coot (ver. 0.5.2 or 0.6-pre-1) on OS X 10.5.6 with XQuartz 2.3.2.1, a subset of windows in Coot keep spawning behind all of the other windows.

This happens with a variety of info boxes, Column Label Assignment windows when opening MTZ files, a number of windows spawned from the Extensions menu, etc,

This DOESN'T happen with File Select dialog boxes, Ramachandran plots, Density fit analysis, Rotamer analysis, Residue info dialog boxes, etc

We've tried a number of different versions of Coot and XQuartz and tried toggling all of the different "Windows" options under the X11.app Prefrences menu.

Is there any way to get the windows to spawn on top of all the other windows? It's quite frustrating to have to drag all of our windows around (especially since Expose doesn't work for most of Coot's dialog boxes).

Thanks for any help,
~Todd
