Recently, somehow the document selector is floating on the screen. How can I prevent the document selector from floating ...

Very recently, I am having a focus problem only with TextPad in windows 7.
Whenever Textpad is opened, Textpad is "always on top". No problem with other programs (e.g, Outlook, IE, etc). Is there a fix for textpad (7.4.0)?

I am using TextPad 7.4 in Windows 7. Spelling check works from context menu. Is there any way to perform automatically without opening the context menu ( just like it does in Microsoft Outlook)?

In textpad, there is a "MANAGE FILES" toolbar right next to the SAVE button. I have never explored this toolbar in the past. What is the Manage Files tool bar for? How to use it? Please enlighten me. Thanks.
