Bring-to-front any "Blocking" windows whenever one is present

Problem:

Sometimes there is a Vista window that thinks "You have to interact with me before you can do anything else in Vista", but you can't find the stinking window in the "Windows List", and Alt-Tab can't find it either.

Solution:

If there is any "Blocking" window that Viewpoint thinks should be on top, then any time the user taps on ANY Viewpoint window, the "Blocking" window would force itself to the top and into focus.

Reasons:

• This would reduce a TON of frustration.

• This would save TIME.

• Can you think of any reason why this would NOT be a good idea to implement?

  If it's something you'd like, keep voting on it! Perhaps VP will listen. :-)
