Windowbehaviour when switching between softwares.

[Barnens Scen]

If I have channel ctrl window, color palette window, live window and some others all open at any time.

But then i change app to for instance LXFree that I had running in the background, it will then immediately cover all LXConsole windows with the big plot covering most of my screen.

But then if I click somewhere in the LXConsole windows that I can still see outside the boundaries of my plot, I expect my computer to put LXConsole, and ALL its windows in front. But it doesn't

The LXConsole windows (not the apple color picker) all except the one I clicked in, stay hidden behind the plot I just closed.
So either LXfree didn't jump back or LXConsole didn't jump forwards with all its possible windows.

No matter what - to me, its an unexpected and somewhat illogical behaviour.

Or is there, as frequently has been known to happen, a very smart thought here that I'm missing?

That is the way OS X is designed. If you look in almost every OS X application, there is an item in the Window menu called "Bring All to Front" which will restore all of an application's windows to being in front of other applications.

I believe that the OS X way around this is to use multiple desktops. You can make a new desktop with Mission Control. (Swipe up with four fingers on a trackpad). You also use mission control to switch between desktops (Swipe with four fingers to the side on the trackpad) With LXFree in one desktop and LXConsole in another, you just swipe back and forth and you can see all the windows of each.

Another way around it is to Cmd+Tab between the two applications
