Photoshop CS2 always stay on top, even when I click another app from the windows taskbar (right of the start button). It's completly annoying me. Always need minimized, click the other app, reclick again on photoshop, re-reminimized.

I only have 1 screen at work so I can't let photoshop on one screen and work with the other app on the other screen.

I look in all photoshop menu, find nothing

I googled the problem, and find a adobe page explain this problem is a "feature".

I only want photoshop cs2 work all other app on windows and loose focus, let new app appear on top.

Thank you.

I had this problem and somehow solved it. But my solution may be just as fickle as why the problem occurs in the first place. But here's what I did:

  1. On the layers palette (F7) I clicked on the small arrow just below the close "X" button, on the right. Then I selected "Pallete Options"
  2. Didn't change any options but just clicked OK.
  3. Now the entire window remained on top, not just the palettes. So I restarted Photoshop and it seemed to fix the issue.
