When I start debugging the project we are currently working on, the program window is not given proper focus in windows but is stacked behind the Visual Studio window. I don't think this problem occurs on any of my team members computers, so it looks like it's a problem on my system.
Is there a setting in VS2008 for always on top or something like that? I can't seem to find one...
Any idea what could be causing this? Visual Studio? The program code?
I know this is sort of a vague issue but I'll concider adding more detail if no one recognizes the problem.
EDIT: I am using Visual Studio 2008 with ReSharper, GhostDoc and Resource Refactoring Tool.
EDIT: I've looked through every single option I can find in VS and I can not find anything that would explain this behaviour.
EDIT: I am running this on a dual monitor setup Lenovo Thinkpad Tseries laptop. The monitors are connected through a docking station. Monitor 1 is connected with a DVI cable and monitor 2 is connected vith a VGA cable.
I had the same problem that Visual Studio 2010 was running Always-On-Top.
I don't know whether this always works. Anecdotally, I closed Visual Studio 2010. Then I re-ran as administrator. Visual Studio then ran normally, not Always-On-Top. I closed Visual Studio. I ran Visual Studio normally (not as administrator). Visual Studio did not run as Always-On-Top.
Note: by "ran as administrator", I mean that I right clicked; on popup menu clicked on properties; on dialog clicked on "Advanced"; checked "run as administrator".
I did not try running as administrator by right clicking and then clicking "run as administrator" on the popup menu.
I only did this one time because once I got Visual Studio running normally, I did not know how to make it run Always-On-Top again.
