    View windows in MicroStation do not come to foreground when clicked

    Product(s): MicroStation
    Version(s):
    Environment: N\A
    Area: View
    Subarea: View Navigation

    Problem Description

    When you left-click the mouse button on a View`s Title Bar it should bring that view to the front of others and make it the active view, however it has been discovered that in some cases  the view is not brought to the front 

    Steps to Resolve

    1. Only for Window 7: uninstall the Windows Security Update KB3145739 solved the issue.
    2. For Winows 8.1 and 10 or if is not possible to uninstall the patch KB3145739:

    - You can switch between window views by using the "View Toggles"

    - Drag the view window a little, it does bring background view (and it becomes active)

           3. For Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 use key-in WINDOW BOTTOM: it will move the bottom window on the front. User could create a function key like F1 to re-call this command: pressing F1 the windows will go to the back one after the other. (Thanks to Ron Jones)

    Note 

    • Bentley developers have been working closely with Microsoft developers on the window display order issue and have identified the exact cause and have determined a proper fix for this issue.
    • The fix involves modifying a Windows Operating System file, therefore, both Microsoft and Bentley have been rigorously testing to ensure this change resolves
    • Bentley’s issue but does not affect the stability or security of the Microsoft Windows platform. Both Bentley and Microsoft understand the impact and urgency of this issue

    • Whilst this Wiki article refers to the Microsoft Windows 7 patch 3145739 where first identified, the following patches also affect this behavior.

    (Alternative identification If running Windows 7 check the version of C:\windows\system32\Win32k.sys if higher than 6.1.7601.21848  the behavior will be seen)

     

    On the 12th July Microsoft has release the following Hotfix https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3168965 which resolves MicroStation XM and V8i versions.
