Opening a next PDF unminimizes other already opened PDFs

Post by July »

Hi,

I am using PDF-XChange Editor Plus v10.8.4 build 409 in Windows 10 x64 with the option

Open each new document in a new window

If I have already opened a few documents and have minimized them to the taskbar, then opening another document unminimizes all the other windows in the background.

This doesn't feel like it's an intended behavior. It's rather cosmetic and not that big of a deal, but over time it can become slightly annoying for productivity.

I'm not sure though with exactly which build of v10 this behavior was introduced, but I'm certain that this didn't use to be the case. Maybe some settings options changed?

Thanks in advance!

Is there a fix for this? It is disruptive.

Hello,

Not yet, I’m afraid.

Our developers just notified me that the issue is actually fixed in version 11.0.1.

Please update your product to the latest version if you license supports it.
