Hi Gregg, By "hide" do you mean move in your example? (You're using /offset and not 'unview in your code, so I'm assuming yes.) As when I deactivate the window it jumps left a little way, but is still open. (On Amiga.) I get this behaviour with or without the console open and I didn't have to move the mouse over the window before it'd happen. So, unless you really mean the window's supposed to disapear, it seems to be working as you intend for me.
