When I was working at Adobe several years ago, we had a bug report that none of us could reproduce or figure out. The bug said that an unrelated window from another application would pop to the front when a dialog in our app was closed. There actually is a similar problem that Windows apps can run into if they close dialogs in the wong way. But I knew we weren't doing that, and we couldn't repro the bug at all. Finally we had the QA engineer who'd reported the bug demo it for us. He clicked the OK button in the dialog, and sure enough, some other app popped to the front - on his machine. Something weird about his Windows configuration? We had him show us the bug a few times, and finally the light dawned. Can you guess what he was doing, and what went wrong? :-) -Mike
