Summary0000781: Album Viewer / Now Playing pops to front in some cases
DescriptionIn build 588 there are still a couple of situations in which MediaMonkey and the Album browser pop on top of whatever other app is currently running. This occurred in the following situations:
1) Click html in Album browser and then minimize to NP and then remaximize MM
2) Minimize to NP and then remaximize MM _twice_ (or more). Note: it doesn't matter when this is done, or whether various activities separate the 2 minimize/maximize operations.

In both of these cases, if the user switches to another application, then when the next Track comes up, MM opens on top of the other app. That's the bad news. The good news is that this only happens for the first track that is played immediately after either of the 2 scenarios occurs. i.e. the 2nd track afterwards plays normally without popping up MM.

Note: I also tested a variety of other scenarios which did_not_ cause the bug:
-Click html
-minimize to NP/remaximize once
-minimize MM/maximize MM

I'll send a log via e-mail.
TagsNo tags attached.

Note: the reason this bug was pushed is because it was felt that we'd probably resolve this bug by improving this functionality somewhat. This still holds true (i.e. this bug will probably be superceded by improvements to this functionality that negate the need for it).

Note that this same issue applies to the Now Playing dialog when the user minimizes to 'Now Playing' in MM 2.1.
