clicking tray item won't open it after using TextPad

This problem just recently began.

Using TextPad, then clicking a tray item for another application will not open that application. I must click Show Desktop and then click the tray icon for the application.

Has anyone had this problem and knows how to solve it?

Thanks for any help.

Please implement the following procedure in TextPad:

From the Configure menu choose:

1. Preferences
2. View
3. Uncheck the option to "Stay on top of other windows"
4. Click Apply / OK.

I hope this helps.

Stephen --

Thank you.

I had reinstalled TP, thinking that would fix it. That did not fix it.

So, I had 2 problems:
1 - 'On top' got set during my use over a long period of time
2 - Install sets it that way by default. If that is true, and you have any influence, I suggest the next distribution have the default to not be 'on top'.
