Why does clicking on a variable in the Variables window or command
in the Review window sometimes bring the window to the front?

Stata 10 now uses the data browser control for the Variables and Review
windows. This is the same control that the Finder uses for displaying files
in a folder window in list form. The data browser behaves differently
depending on where you click in a cell in the control.
If you click the text in a cell, the data browser selects the cell,
then outputs the text to the Command window. The keyboard focus
is set to the Command window so the Command window stays in front.
If you click in a blank area of a cell, the data browser selects the cell,
then outputs the text to the Command window. However, the keyboard focus
is set to the data browser's parent window and the parent window is moved to
the front. Stata cannot prevent this from
happening because this behavior is imposed by Mac OS X.
To avoid this behavior, you must click directly on a variable
name or command in the Variables or Review windows, not a blank area.
