Cannot Switch Applications by Clicking Panes
Upgraded from 10.6 to 10.8. Switching between applications has changed. For example, I used to switch from a Safari window to a Mail window simply by clicking on the mail window in the background. However, now I have to click either on the very top of the window, or it requires 2 or 3 clicks before that window will come to front.
Another change is that I used to be able to close windows in the background -- even from other programs -- simply by clicking the red close button. With 10.8, when I click the red close button for a window that is in the background, it highlights the button but does not close the window. In order to close it, the application now must be in the foreground.
Another example, just right now, I clicked in the grey left-side open drawer of my Mail application which is in the background, and it does not come forward. If I click on the main list of emails, it also does not come forward. But if I click on the title bar, it will come to front.
Anyone else notice this step backward in window management?
