[LAUER Edouard[_2_]]

Hello,

I've resolved the phenomena list below and it's due to guess what: A
Microsoft update that we've received from our WSUS Server. After deinstalling
this update we could again open in Internet Explorer 2 separate Word
documents without the taskbar flashing orange.
The update implied is: Security Update for Microsoft Office Word 2003
(KB954464)
I've tried to called Microsoft support in Belgium about that problem but the
guy was not really pleased about me calling Microsoft support and said I
should look at the newsgroup or pay technical assistance for this problem. He
said that in a not very friendly tone.
What makes me a little sad is that a feature changed without Microsoft
giving any clear details about what they changed with that update and I've
lost 3 days at work for finding out what was making the problem....so no
comment...but Microsoft should test security updates more toroughly....

Hello,

I mean that with Internet Explorer 6 the behaviour was as expected i.e
Clicking on the 1st Word document in Internet Explorer 6 brought up an
Winword instance with the 1st document, clicking on the 2nd Word document in
Internet Explorer 6 brought up a 2nd instance with the 2nd document.

Now with Internet Explorer 7 the word icon in taskbar keeps flashing and
only when clicking on it the 2nd document is coming up. It seems that the 2nd
Word document stays behind the 1st one in the taskbar and that's why it keeps
flashing until being clicked.

We've newer installed TweakUi and I've also tested changing registry setting
HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\ForegroundLockTimeout but with no results.

Hello,

we've following configuration: Windows XP SP2 with latest updates, IE7 with
latest updates and Office 2003 with latest updates.

Since we installed Internet Explorer 7 we've following problem (please note
that browse in same window is deactivated in Windows Explorer - Folder
Options for filetype .doc):
Open an Internet Explorer Window and use google, then type: "filetype:doc
url:www.cssf.lu" as search argument.
Now open the 1st Word document listed in Internet Explorer 7. It should be
opened in a new winword instance.
Now in the Internet Explorer window click on the second word document listed.

Instead of coming up the taskbar blinks and only if you click on the
blinking item the
2nd Word document opens.
It seems to us that this is a bug since this was not the case in Internet
Explorer 6.


What was "the case in Internet Explorer 6"? ; )



Can someone comment this?


Are you using TweakUI's fix for focus stealing?
What you are seeing could be a symptom of using its
"Flash taskbar button until I click on it."
