When I start debugging the project we are currently working on, the program window is not given proper focus in windows but is stacked behind the Visual Studio window. I don't think this problem occurs on any of my team members computers, so it looks like it's a problem on my system.

Is there a setting in VS2008 for always on top or something like that? I can't seem to find one...

Any idea what could be causing this? Visual Studio? The program code?

I know this is sort of a vague issue but I'll concider adding more detail if no one recognizes the problem.

EDIT: I am using Visual Studio 2008 with ReSharper, GhostDoc and Resource Refactoring Tool.

EDIT: I've looked through every single option I can find in VS and I can not find anything that would explain this behaviour.

EDIT: I am running this on a dual monitor setup Lenovo Thinkpad Tseries laptop. The monitors are connected through a docking station. Monitor 1 is connected with a DVI cable and monitor 2 is connected vith a VGA cable.

No solution, but maybe an observation: I got this from time to time too with WinForms applications debugging on a machine with dual monitor enabled. Thinking about it, I never tried turning one monitor off and at my new work we do not create WinForms applications. With Webforms starting a new browser I never had this problem (yet).

I am running dual monitors as well... will look into this. Didn't occur to me that this could be related. Thanks :)

This is just a theory, but after I recently upgraded to ReSharper 4.5 this problem looks to be resolved. It could be a coincidence but I'm inclined to think it isn't... :P

I had the same problem with same solution.
