I recently upgraded to 10.4.3 on a couple of machines and they both have the same strange behavior. One is a G4 Cube, the other is a G3 iBook, both with 10.4.3 and all relevant Software Updates.
- Start with some open applications "layered" so that App1 is active and on top of App2.
- Lock screen or let it sleep by its own timer.
- Wake and enter password.
- App2 pops to the top, App1 is below App2 and App2 is the active window.
Is this what others observe? It doesn't seem normal to me. Is there a fix?
Thank you.
I have seen similar behaviour. At login I run iCAL to set the date on it's icon in the menu bar. The actuall window remains hidden. Coming out of sleep, the application presents it's window. As I may have word and entouage and mail and textwrangler running along with iCAL, sometimes I see what you haev described. I have yet to figure it out.

I have the same problem and it's very annoying. I'd like to know the fix as well.

One or other application has a sleep-hook or a wake-hook, which brings it to the front when those things happen so it can do something.

Never happened to me under 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 so I don't understand why this behavior has changed under 10.4. There must have been applications that had a sleep-hook or wake-hook under 10.3 but they didn't change the application layers...
