Just wondering if this is a bug or the expected behavior. I currently have open the theme editor, and bundle editor, and a document. If I press Cmd-` successively, the windows come in front in the following order:
Yeah, that's pretty weird -- the reason seems to be because I've made both the bundle editor and theme editor a panel (instead of a window). Something I generally do for two reasons; 1) before Tiger, only panels would close on 'escape', and 2) by default panels do not get 'main window' status, meaning that important actions are still sent to the window containing the text editor (this is important mostly for things like the find dialog, which “work” on the main window, but both the theme and bundle editor also make use of having a main window e.g. when creating new items and setting a default scope).
Though panels also seem to have several disadvantages, I wasn't aware of this window-cycle chain problem, but I know of two other window- ordering related problems which only happen for panels.
For b13 I've changed both these two panels to be normal windows. This means that new items no longer get the current scope as default scope, but window-cycling works as expected :)
