Dears,

Steps to reproduce the issue in IE:

1) Open IE10/11
2) Go to Internet Options;
3) Click Settings;
4) Click any of the "Move folder ...", "View objects" or "View files" buttons;
5) Close the window that opened by the step 4;
6) The Settings dialog and its parent Internet Options dialog disappeared. I must click on the IE window to call back them, why?

Another issue in IE10/11

1)  Open a web page with upload input box in IE, click Browse ..., no dialog shows, I also must click on the IE windows to call that back;
2) Click to the drop down on the "Change your view", the dialog disappears at once when the view mode menu pops up.

The above issues are not the worst, please continue to reproduce the next issue in Google Chrome:
1) Open a web page with upload input box in Chrome and click it;
2) Click the "More options" button on the right of the "Change you view" button on the toolbar, the dialog disappears at once when the view mode menu pops up;
3) The whole Chrome window doesn't response with any control, the only workaround is move the mouse over the Chrome icon on the Taskbar, when the thumbnail windows shows then move mouse over it and right click, the dialog will be back. But the workaround doesn't 100% work, sometimes when your mouse move to the dialog box want to select file it disappears again, that leads only to dead ends.

These issues troubled me from Windows 8 to today's 8.1, can you tell me how to be free from the pain?

Was this on a single monitor and did the File Explorer window overlay those dialog windows?   Otherwise, on a dual-monitor system, I cannot reproduce this.  The dialogs stay up and visible but not active.  When the File Explorer window is closed, the topmost dialog becomes current again.

So, if the File Explorer window is overlaying those dialog windows see if first moving the FE window exposes them again?  Then close the FE window, once they are visible.

 

HTH

Sorry Robert,

I thought the question hasn't been answered because I didn't receive the notification for your reply.

Now I have confirmed that all the issues come from Tencent QQ Wubi Chinese input method. Every thing works well when I uninstalled the IME. But that really a sad news because there is no better Wubi IME could be used in Windows 8 now, maybe I have to turn to Pinyin from today.
