Hi Walt,
See if the LeftMouseButton keypress places you on the Desktop when this
happens.
As far as the HJ Beta team...
Sorry, but the team's purpose isn't to promote new features. Generally, we
can't talk about new features found in beta versions, or at least not until
it gets into the public beta stage. This one is still being tracked down,
since it seems to be system-specific, and there are a lot of different
system configurations out there!<grin> Even with this problem, I don't
think it should've delayed the 3.3025 release, since it isn't a debilitating
problem--a pain, yes, but not significant enough to be a reason for keeping
the new 3.3 features from being delivered to the users. It is being worked
on though, and finding a fix that doesn't adversely effect some other area
does take time, which is the case when dealing with a problem that isn't
happening on all systems. Isolating one of those puppies is a tedious task
at the best of times!
Let me know if that LeftMouseButton trick puts you on the Desktop when
exiting an application...if so, we might be able to come up with a
script-based temporary fix while HJ gurus continue the search and destroy on
that problem.
