RE: Toad 11.0.0.116 describe filter window won't come to the front

Ah, I see.  I am guessing that it was never behind the describe window, but in some screen coordinates that no longer existed due to the monitor configuration change.   We have some logic in there to prevent that from happening when you go from multiple monitors to single monitor, but not from one multi monitor configuration to another.

Hi John, I tried making my windows really small and moving them around...no luck.  But I finally did stumble on a solution...I have multiple monitors (hardware folks changed a video card in my machine today) and when I changed a different monitor to be primary, then the filter window started appearing on that monitor instead of behind the describe window.  Thanks.  Wendy

Hey Wendy.

  Yeah I think you have the diagnosis right.  I'm not sure why it's doing that though, it's behaving properly for me.

 It should be bringing the filter dialog up in the center of your screen, so if you move the describe dialog off to one side or the other before you open the filter dialog, you should be able to get to it.

  If you send me your Toad.ini file, maybe I can repeat the problem and fix it.

Sorry, I meant to say the describe window, not the schema browser...

Hi, I just upgraded from 10.6 to 11.0.0.116. When I click the filter
icon, or select the drop down next to the icon and select 'new filter',
Toad flashes, then freezes. If I then hit the escape button, Toad
flashes and unfreezes. No filter window appears. I think this means
that the filter window is opening up behind the schema browser where I
can't get to it. Is there anything I can do to bring it to the front?
