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)

• 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
