AC 11 bug under Mac OS X 10.5

[Anonymous]

Under Mac OS X 10.5 my copy of ArchiCAD 11 (v 1114 INT full) no longer hides when selecting "Hide" from the ArchiCAD menu. This is not the only app that refuses to hide under Leopard (Adobe CS3 does the same thing). Is Graphisoft aware of this?

This isn't a new bug - I've seen it back to ArchiCAD 10 on OS 10.3. It only occurs intermittently, and I can't work what the trigger is. The flip side of the problem - also evident long before 10.5 - is that sometimes ArchiCAD refuses to reappear after it has been hidden. Everything is still functioning, and right-clicking on ArchiCAD in the dock shows a list of open windows and menu items like Quit. Unfortunately, selecting a window does nothing and selecting Quit only works if it doesn't prompt to save the file (because you can't respond to an invisible prompt).

I have had this happen, rarely, with ArchiCAD. It seems more common with Adobe products (InDesign particularly). I don't think it's anything peculiar to Leopard.

ArchiCAD being stuck in the hide mode happens to me roughly once a week. It just happened to another user on Leopard. What a pain! Force-quit doesn't even work.

This is a known MacBook and iMac issue. Though it appears sometimes to be a HW issue it is the OS.

Ever find your self retyping the first letter you already typed in a field as well or no keypad/mouse whatsoever?
