I've seen this happen with arbitrary windows belonging to arbitrary apps, so it may not be an R.app-specific bug. In the grand scheme of things (i.e., 'hey, at least it's not Windows8!!), I view this as a minor annoyance.

Hi all,
When I have another application window active (say Chrome), and then use Mission Control/Expos? to show all windows, then click on any R window, the R window comes to the front for half of a second and then goes behind other application windows. This has plagued me across updates of both R and MacOS for years. I am currently running Mavericks (10.9.2) on a 2012 MacBook Pro, but experienced the same issue since I started using R on a Leopard and then Snow Leopard (10.6.8) based 2008 Macbook. Over the last few years I have searched many times for a solution, but the best I could do was find someone else who had the same problem:

I uploaded a video of the (mostly) reproducible behavior in case my description is ambiguous. Here:

Has anyone else experienced or resolved this issue? Any helpful clues would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
Jimmy
