Maybe a bug?

Hi Les,
Been reworking some existing programs, long story, but because of a change in operating software on the mill, all my programs coded a year or more ago won’t run. So I have to open the job file, re-post the code and send it out to the machine. In the process of that, I’m checking my operations and when I highlight an operation and then right click it opens a box that has edit at the top of a bunch of choices, the problem is that box opens behind the Sheetcam window, I can only see the bottom edge of it sticking below the main window.
I worked around it by double clicking the operation and it opened the operation parameter window which allowed me to double check the depth of cut, steps and stock left.
In the process of doing that, I ran into a couple times where I wanted to change a layer or a tool number and again, the drop down boxes were not behaving correctly. I was able to highlight the layer or tool window, and using my up or down arrows on the keyboard, cycle thru the choices and change them.
So, all in all, I worked through it all, but it was odd to say the least. Now, I do run a iMac, using parallels with Windows 7, so it’s not impossible that this could hamper things, but it’s never done any of this before.
