Can't bring LIVE back when i "Hide" it in Leopard

slee · Post by **slee** » Mon Oct 06, 2008 7:44 pm

I use the good old Apple Key/H key command to Hide apps a lot. When i Hide Live, it either doesn't work, or if it works, i cant bring it back. Clicking on the app in the dock does nothing, using Apple Key/TAB does nothing. I end up having to force quit. No other program has this problem, and this has been happening to me since Live 6 (running 7 now)

Anyone else have this problem? Any solutions?

Are you using Spaces?

Nope, no Spaces...no Expose.

Is that known to cause problems?

Hi Slee,

I am unable to reproduce the problem. Do you get that with other applications as well?

Best,

Every so often an Adobe app will do this same thing on my Web Development computer (a different one than i use for music), but not like Live which does it EVERY time. One thing i have found is that when i click on the app in the dock i can gain control of the program even though i can see any windows or the menu bar. I can Apple key/S and Apple Key/Q to save the Live file and quit.

HI,

still unable to produce the problem (not even once). Which exact version of Leopard do you use? What kind of Mac do you have?

Best,

Jörg

I have looked around the web, and it seems to be an OS issue that pops up with certain programs. Here is a thread from apple discussions:

and here is a Knowledge base page at Adobe:

I am running 10.5.5 on a macbook pro 2.2GHz with Live 7.0.10 but this problem has been going on for a while before this os and live versions.

I am hopeful that Apple will figure this out.

One last note in case this issue is driving anyone else crazy....

If you have Live in fullscreen mode (f11), hiding DOES work.
