Hi,
For anybody who read a posting of mine about
a week ago, I noted I lost an edit window - it seems
to have disappeared.  I now think I have found out
what has been going on.

If you iconise a window near the bottom of the screen,
and then pull the icon bar to the front, the icon can
actualy get lost behind the icon bar - lost forever.

Can anyone confirm this is the problem, and
is there a work around/fix /patch etc. - i.e.
something we can put in code so that our programs
dont suffer from it.

Dave
