Windows TD: 2023 11760
how to reproduce
0.make sure you have other windows software open and active(not minimized) on the same monitor. So go open a notepad, windows explorer, browser etc.
-
open a new TD project or use the one you already have open, lay a base, inside your base place 2 or more sops.
-
For each sop open the display options dialog(viewer active, right click “Display Options”) so that multiple sops have dialogs simultaneously open
-
mmb scroll in and out of this base whilst the multiple SOP Display options are inside
-
TD will minimize and your mouse and keyboard will be engaged with another software.
Its a little dangerous because you are engaged in the next process. So without realizing it you may be hotkeying or typing somewhere you don’t want to be. Oops I was just in TD but I clicked send on that email. I was just in TD but now I am renaming files in windows somehow.
When the program in the background is another TD session and you don’t realize you’ve made the jump, it can be a bit of a baffle or worse. If the two TD sessions are similar or related you can find yourself working in the wrong session unknowingly.
I am pretty sure this is the cause of, or related to, the OP snippets bug in the following thread, (which is not resolved as the title suggests)
