Hi folks,

When you hit run and the pop-up window (the render screen) pops-up, it 
would be nice for the focus to return to the editor.

When debugging/rendering at a quick pace, it happens often that half of 
what I'm typing doesn't get there as focus to the editor goes away as soon
as the image starts rendering.

Yes, I make changes just before the scene starts rendering, I guess i'm
trying to go faster then the machine.

Thanks for hearing me out...

Hi Marc,

Go to the Options Menu. In the Render Window submenu, uncheck the
"Keep above main" option. Go there again and uncheck the "Get focus on
creation" option.

Happy tracing,
Peter

No offence meant, but it would be even nicer if folks read the documentation.

Now I feel like buring my head in the sand...

Thanks, did not see or if I did I didn't catch the sense of it.

I did I did but I didn't see the pussy cat.

I've been reading da manual since POVRay's first release.

...MS-Word, I only know/use 5% of what it can do, probably
will know/use another 5% before I die.

No offense taken
