Answered: Constant window focus shifts

Darth_Biomech

I experience CONSTANT shifts of focus from both Photoshop itself and from Quixel panels. When in Photoshop I must constantly click in the window to keep it current, when I use quixel I almost cant use any drop lists, because they open up for only two or three seconds at best - and then focus of the window shifts and list collapses back again. This makes work with the program if not impossible, but very hard and getting on my nerves. Please help.
There's thread that have same problem from June of 2015, it marked as solved, but it's solution of "try to close Quixel and open it up again for several times and hope for the best" is not satisfactory. Especially considering that my current project takes about 5 minutes to save and close and this irritating behavior can resurface at completely random time.

Sorry about the trouble, Biomech! Are you opening Photoshop first, and then the Suite? Or are you allowing the Suite to open Photoshop for you?

Huh. That's an interesting question) I think I opened Quixel after Photoshop, since Photoshop often opened in the background anyway.

If you open Photoshop first and run the Suite, this issue generally happens. Try letting the Suite run it from now on and see if that alleviates it.

Tried that, and it still shifts the focus.

Which version of Photoshop are you running?

CS4 (64bit)

Would you be okay with installing CC 2015 as a trial (unless you have a subscription?) to see if this issue persists in that version?
