Minimized AppPortal Window becomes active automatically
Hopefully I can explain this in an easy to understand way.
First the environment: vWorkspace v7.6 installed on Windows 2003 R2 32bit
Issue: We have an application published on the vWorkspace server (Fourth Shift) where after periods of inactive periods you get 'bumped' to different screens.
Now, if a client is running this Fourth Shift application and then has minimized it to say start an email from his local machine - once that published app screen changes it automatically pops up and becomes the active window.
I've noticed this myself when I had Outlook open via AppPortal while I was working on a local application and then multiple emails seemed to come in to cause the 'Published Outlook' window to refresh - it became the active window on my client machine.
Any way to prevent this?
Thanks
I don't think this would take care of it, as there isn't usually 2 seconds between keystrokes while typing.
After doing a quick test (on my system FlashCount is 7 and LockTimeout is 200000) and all is good with mouse activity, it's just when there's either no activity (no big deal then to me) and keyboard activity which causes issues

Hello Mike,
There is a Windows setting configured via the registry called ForegroundLockTimeout. This is typically set to 2 seconds by default, it is used to prevent other applications from stealing focus from the active window. The timeout applies after the last activity on the active application, you may want to experiment in increasing the timeout to see if this helps your issue.
There is some information about it here http://www.sevenforums.com/general-discussion/78463-stuff-pop-up.html and you can find more from Google.
I hope this helps
David
