I liked how the F11 expose function would brush all the windows out of the way... It still does it... but after a few seconds it pushes them back in place.... I liked who the old way worked when it would... wait for me to press the button. What up wid.dat?

is this with tiger?

Tyler McAdams · Apr 30, 2005, 01:07 AM

yes

asodamiac · Apr 30, 2005, 01:41 AM

hopefully its a bug.. and if it is.. hopefully apple comes out with an update soon.

MARINEOSX · Apr 30, 2005, 01:41 AM

it does not do that in mine. It still works the old way. I let it stay there for a while to.

Stogieman · Apr 30, 2005, 01:57 AM

Same here. I let the windows stay hidden for up to 2 minutes. Everything works as it should. Are you using hot corners?

Tyler McAdams · Apr 30, 2005, 02:15 AM

no hot corners assigned to expose... no.

I had this happen under 10.3.8 and it eventually (few days later) fixed itself. I had hot corners, however.

Cadaver · Apr 30, 2005, 01:29 PM

No problem here.

Are there any prefs that can be trashed?

it does this to me on 10.3.8 somtimes. depends on where you move the mouse (like over an action item for dragging and dropping )

maybe

Make sure ju guys don't got no sticky F11 keys. Works fine over here, did on 10.3 as well.

Tyler McAdams · Apr 30, 2005, 06:50 PM

Well my backup drve w/ Panther is working fine... so that rules out sticky keys. Man this sucks... this is one of my favorite features!!!

I'm raising this thread from the dead, as I'm having exactly the same problem on 10.4.3 : when I move to the "Show Desktop" hot corner, the windows reappear after about 5 seconds (the delay seems to be constant after several attempts)

I just wanted to know how the original poster fixed the problem (if he did)

Thx

I'm having a similar problem with 10.4.6. I've only had the computer for a week and it's my first mac, so I fear I might be overlooking something simple. Anyways when I hit F11 for show desktop it shows the desktop then immediately moves all windows back with the last window I was using on top waiting to be clicked. "All Windows" functions similarly. It brings up all windows then immediately brings forward the last window being used waiting to be clicked.

How can I fix this? TIA

kalani79 · Jun 1, 2006, 10:34 PM

Restart fixed it.

Yakov · Jun 22, 2006, 05:16 PM

make sure you're not holding down the key. just tap it. does that solve anything?
