    Taskbar: click icon twice doesn't refocus previous win


    If you click on a program's Superbar icon twice it does not re-focus the window which was previously in focus.

    For example:

    • I have Dreamweaver open and in-focus
    • then I click the Firefox icon in the taskbar (Superbar) to preview what I just uploaded (F5)
    • then I click the Firefox icon again (my cursor is still there) to minimize it and return to Dreamweaver
    • then I start typing.... but the Dreamweaver window is not in focus, even though it is visible and in front

    This worked in XP. (Yes, I could just move my cursor and click Dreamweaver. However, I would prefer not to.) Minor annoyance.

    Can anyone else relate to this or is it just me?

    Thanks!

    hi and welcome to sevenforums,

    i only need to click mine once to restore/lose focus.

    is this just a dreamweaver problem? i don't have it installed, so i can't test it for you...

    Hi, thanks. I've been lurking around here ever since Win 7 beta, just never registered :) This forum is very helpful.

    Oh yeah. Good observation. I have DW CS2 on my XP installation, this time I've been trying out CS4. Apparently it is a DW CS4 problem...

    Thanks!
