Calamarain Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 While using Xmouse without the autoraise functionallity on Windows 7, Paint.net raises itself when either the tools or the history windowlet loses focus. Edit: the Paint.net window is only raised when the tools or history window is still fading out when the mouse cursor isn't on it anymore. When you wait for the window to fade out with the mouse cursor on the border of the window (aero enabled), and then move the cursor from the window, raising does not occur.

david.atwell Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I think your best bet is to disable Xmouse with Paint.NET. I doubt Rick is going to provide support for that. He doesn't provide support for shell extensions and other non-default Windows installation add-ons. Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior...

By raising a window on it's own, paint.net is not playing by the rules. The window manager (some windows component) should manage windows. Also note that this isn't some weird windows addon, but a normal feature in the Ease of Access Center, called 'Activate a window by hovering over it with the mouse' in Windows 7. The same feature exists in Vista. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.atwell Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Ah, I see what you're saying. I thought you'd downloaded some funky addon. :-P I can't speak to your question now. I've reached the limit of my knowledge. Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies.

Rick Brewster Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Xmouse does funky things with the input messages, and this collides with the funky things Paint.NET has to do to maintain its own input focus correctly. I'm not going to fix this. I recommend simply not using Xmouse.

I will certainly not stop using Xmouse I'll just have to get used to the annoying popping up Paint.net window, because I'm not planning on stopping using that either.
