do you have a floating window in your imaging layout (also including hidden windows)?
If yes - this is a bug in the third party dock manager that is in use. -

What about the hidden panels, is one of them a floating panel?

You could also share the layout which is stored at %localappdata%\nina\avalondock.config

Here we are… attached on top, since I have not found any possibility to attach something in the text field except images.

Your platesolving and autofocus windows are popped out when you re-open these. Once you dock them again with the rest, the problem won’t occur anymore.
I haven’t found out if there is a way around this bug in the external framework or what exactly the root cause for this behavior is.

Hi Stefan,
I have re-docked them, and the problem is gone. But this is only a confirmation of the bug, but not a real solution. Maybe the coder of the framework can help?For nightly work, I will keep this windows undocked because I want to see the image window at the same time. I do not want to switch between the windows all the time.
So we have to wait for a fix from the framework owner.
But at least the root cause is found. Thanks!

The problem with the framework is, that their licensing has changed last year. So even if they fix it, an upgrade is not possible anymore as that license is incompatible.
There is a forked version that is still maintained using the old license, which i need to upgrade to at one point, when i get some time to do it.

Absolutely fine with me. This has no functional impact. We just keep this issue open and close it when it is done. So we wont forget it.
Thanks!

I'll close the issue as this is a third party component and it might be fixed or not, but tracking it here makes not much sense, as we can't influence it.

Problem still persists in Nightly 21. but a minor update:
It is not jumping to window in the background, but to the last active window. e.g. Outlook or Browser.
Steps to reproduce:
Result: The Browser gets the focus.
