One issue that has bothered me ever since OS X came out, is how windows are sorted. It used to be when one had an app in the foreground, all its windows would stay in the foreground.
In OS X, windows get all mixed together. I've become somewhat complacent to that. But a growing issue is other windows coming to the foreground. For example, I was downloading a file in the background and the dmg mounted and then a license agreement popped up and took priority on my screen. Many apps do this sort of thing. I was showing something in Safari, and when Keynote finished saving it launched itself into the foreground.
The issue pretty much always occurs when I'm multitasking. Aside from not doing that, is there any way to force app windows to stay where they are? In Leopard, it's even more annoying that when an app wants attention, it forces my Space to change.
