Sometimes when I am minimizing all the windows (option-H) one by one and I minimize the last one, another one just maximizes automaticly back, when I minimize that one, another one jumps back etc..et...
Really weird, happened so far every version of Mac OSX afaik...
Anyone having the same problem?

Since when does option-H minimize? Command-M does, and works fine for me. If you're using command-H, that's hide application, not minimise window, and you have to have at least one non-hidden app - so when you hide the last remaining one, another becomes unhidden.

Nah, I know what he/she's talking about... it happens to me, too. REALLY weird...
Another thing that annoys me is that opt-apple-w doesn't close all windows in either Text Edit or Safari.
WHAT the HELL ever happened to consistency in ANYTHING????
sigh.

option-apple-w? According to the menu shortcuts, its Shift-Apple-W to close all. Odd.

Perhaps option + click on minimize is meant? Which minimizes all...
Bleh I don't use minimize, it's all about hiding.

I'm used to Command-Option-W for close all myself...and Command-Shift-W is already "Wrap to Page" in TextEdit.

I meant hiding windows, sorry for the misunderstanding.
But it's definitely a bug, it shouldn't do it and most of the time it doesn't...

It's not a bug - the idea is that there should always be an open window in the app that's in the foreground (supposedly to make it easier to know which app you're in...)
It's the same deal if you click on the Finder icon, and close (or hide) all Finder windows, and then go to say TexEdit (which will create a window of its own, when you Open it) and close (or hide) its window.
OK. So now you've got the Finder with no open windows, and the same for TexEdit.
But when you click on the Finder icon now, it createst a new window for you (or unhides one), and then you click on TexEdit again, and it makes a new window (or unhides one). D'oh!
It's not a bug, and might even be useful to some, but I don't like it, and never have. I just wish we could toggle the behaviour...
But one question for you. How come you've only just noticed this now? it's been like this since the Public Beta...

I do think it's a bug: how do you explain then that it almost never happens? There's NO consistency in it whatsoever
Ok, I agree that when you minimize everything, the finder is the automatic application, but the desktop is the finder as well, so no reason to popup another window...
It isn't a behaviour that always happens, it rarely happens, so I do think it's a bug... And I've noticed it before, just annoyed me so much now that I decided to post it
