Not that I can offer much solace but I get this happening (without JAWS
running) when I open a Word attachment from within Outlook. The original
email message seems to retain focus and masks the Word document - not
always though! I still haven't figured out how to cure it.

Subject: [program-l] JAWS 8.0 and Active Windows
Hi all,
I'm experiencing something a bit irritating, and thought I'd like to
hear if anyone else is getting it before I report it to FS.
Since installing and running JAWS 8.0, I find that starting applications
very often results in the new window opening behind the currently active
one. As I didn't think JAWS should be in a position to affect such
behaviour, I was loathe to blame it. But switching back to JAWS 7.0, I
found the behaviour stopped completely. Resuming use of JAWS 8.0 has
brought the problem back again.
A simple example is starting the Windows calculator. I assigned a
shortcut key of ctrl+alt+C to start it, and when running JAWS 8.0,
hitting that key almost always results in the calculator window opening
behind the active window. Yet when I do the same while running JAWS
7.0, it always opens on top as the active window.
Has anybody else observed this? And if it isn't a JAWS problem, does
anybody have any suggestions as to what might be causing it?
Thanks.
