Stay on the Code::Blocks menu
« on: January 24, 2024, 04:46:02 pm »
After compiling and running my files, when I close the console it also switches to another window if I have one up. It doesn't close or minimize the Code::Blocks application, it just as if it tabs to that window and moves Code::Blocks to the back. Is there a way to change this behavior?

You really need to provide more info. Like version of CodeBlocks, your OS, etc.

But two things I know that can cause this. The foreground window that gets the focus after your program terminates may be set to Always-On-Top, or you're running your OS in Focus-Follows-Mouse mode.

Most recent stable version of Code::Blocks on Windows 11

I would consider some of the nightly esp. the recent ones more stable than the last CB release; suggest stating what CB version you are using?
The last release? Nightly CB version?
