Post From: v2862 - Background windows showing when changing chartbooks

When you state that the other charts were set to be "Hidden" what exactly do you mean? Are they actually open, but just covered? Or did you have them minimized?

We think this may be related to having the windows you do not want to see "minimized". In which case, there is a new setting that controls what it means to have a window "minimized". Refer to the following:
General Settings Window: MDI Child Window Minimize Method (List) (Global Settings >> General Settings >> GUI >> Multiple Document Interface (MDI) and Custom Title Bar Settings)

The default for this is "Minimize in Place", which we think is what you are seeing. Try setting this to "Hide Window" which actually completely removes the window as if the option for "Hide Window" were selected

They are open, but just covered. They were not minimized.

This is for a spreadsheet window. The other regular chart window is staying hidden now by changing the display order.

I just tried setting the MDI Child Window mimize method to hide window, and also to minimize to bottom. Both just show up in the bottom left of the chartbook screen when I change to another chartbook and come back.

Is there something special about spreadsheet windows that need to be minimized/hidden differently?
