Existing users, 
If Pithhelmet is installed, after downloading a pdf and it opening in a Safari window with Adobe Reader 7.0, you cannot select windows in Safari or bring all to front. To see the bug, do this:
With Pithhelmet installed, start Safari.
Open another window
The Windows menu allows for switching between windows.
Open a third window. Download a pdf with Adobe Reader 7.0.1 or 7.0.0 installed and opening the file within Safari.
Now find that the Windows menu does not allow switching between windows. Bring all to front does not work. No checkmark on the displayed window seen.
Closing the Adobe Reader window does not help.
Quit and restart Safari and all is well until the next pdf download.
This has now been reproduced on 3 machines, including one with a fresh install of PH and Adobe Reader.
If anyone else is seeing this, please post. Mike Solomon has been responsive but he cannot reproduce the behavior. Please send him a report if you are observing this

Product Platform: MacOSX
Used Product For: 6-12 months
System Info:Using 10.3.8. No other Safari-related helper apps installed (I have tried it with and without Saft--same with both; and with and without Menu Switcher on; my Pbook and iMac never had either and the same behavior is seen). I have also uninstalled and reinstalled Pithhelmet twice and it did not help.

Pithhelmet 2.x and Adobe Reader Conflict - Tim Haigh
This is an Adobe problem as I use a different plugin for pdf's and it does not break with pith helmet.Tuesday, April 19 2005 @ 11:31 AM PDT

Haven't tried it in a new tab. Reason is that most pdfs download automatically in a new window and it would be hard to control it to be in a new tab. Unless you can tell me how to do this... Do you have a reason to think it would be OK in a tab but not a window?MJS

You can choose whether that tab is selected when opened or is opened behind the others you have.

This happened to me once, when I was fooling around with the Adobe plugin features. It seems to me though that it's a bug in the Adobe plugin rather than in PithHelmet.Tuesday, April 19 2005 @ 11:38 PM PDT

I'm glad to hear at least one other person saw this. What I'm not sure about is how you decide it is a bug in Adobe and not in Pithhelmet. When Pitthelmet is not installed, then Adobe Reader does not cause this behavior. Nor did I see this behavior when I was using PH 0.7. So it is some interaction between the two pieces of software and I would hope that a change in PH could prevent the behavior, since (again) it does not happen with PH is not installed.MJS

I likewise am experiencing this behavior. I don't have anything to add which might help ID the issue, but will keep my eyes open now that I have seen it occur several times. I am using a Powerbook Titanium running 10.3.9, Adobe Reader 7.0.1 and Pithhelmet 2.4, although since only a few are seeing it, I wouldn't be surprised to find there is a further interaction occuring that's yet to be identified.Eric Oshlo
