Forums -> UltraMon™ -> Closing program minimize another window (lost focus)

Hi there !

There's this weird problem that I cannot find any solution anywhere, so here it is, step by step :

1- From Total Commander, I launch an application via a keyboard shortcut.
2- Then, from TC, I drag & drop some files into said application and let it do it's thing.
3- When it's done, I close said application.
4- ... and here's my problem; when I close the application at step #3, Total Commander is minimize at the same time !

I thought it was suspicious, so I tried the exact same steps without UltraMon running and said problem is gone ! So I fire up UltraMon, redo the same steps again and TC is minimized every single time.

I also tried the same steps with DisplayFusion (urrrgghh) and the minimize problem doesn't happen.

Is there a way to fix this because it's clearly linked to UltraMon. Maybe it's a conflict of some sort with Total Commander ?

Thanks in advance ! :)

So far I haven't been able to reproduce the issue, here's how I tested:

- launch Total Commander
- launch Notepad via icon on the Total Commander toolbar (I didn't see an option to set up hotkeys)
- drag a text file to Notepad
- close Notepad

Testing was done on 64-bit Windows 7 with the 64-bit version of Total Commander 8.01. I tested with the Aero theme, if you are using Basic or Classic let me know.

Most likely the issue is related to the window buttons added by UltraMon, you could try using the alternative buttons or disabling them completely for Total Commander via UltraMon Options > Compatibility.
