AC14 launches AC13

For sometime I've been having an issue that AC13 launches when using AC14. I have not been able to tie it down to any particular action within AC14. Is anybody else been seeing this issue? Not a real problem, just annoying.

Are you double clicking the files to open them?
If so do a Command+I on the File and in "Open With" select Archicad 14 and the "Change All"

No. This is happing while working in AC14. I've confirmed that it has happened to at least one other person in our office.

AFAIK that is not supposed to happen unless somebody is messing up with your heads by using a script/service to auto launch AC13 while you work

Wild Guess…

Check your shortcuts for opening a project (and variations like join teamwork, Work Environment) to see if you might hit a combo while working that causes AC13 to launch.

You can try to see if there is something in the Services Menu (System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts) that launches a specific file that only opens with 13.

Do you have a hotlink to a 13 file or maybe a draing in the layouts that is linked to an external 13 file?

Okay, I finally figured this one out! We use a small macro program that will relocate a window by holding down the mouse button and a certain key combination. This was causing AC13 to start up.
