Does any one else have this issue? About once an hour at a random time, when my main BA screen is minimised (while looking at Guardian, for example) the BA screen gets brought to the front, receiving focus?

Have you checked you don't have the 'Switch to market' box at the top of Guardian ticked?

Yes, I've never used that setting. I think this has been happening ever since I started using BA but it's only noticable when the main screen is minimised.

There are plenty of threads about automation and one about settings, coupons, etc. but none for general use of BA. :)

Check under Display in the main BA settings that you don't have 'Activate Bet Angel screen when Guardian Auto-switches to a market' ticked
Differs to the auto switch setting in Guardian.

The same thing would happen to me when I'd have the ladder undocked and maximised. The BA main screen would just come to the fore for no reason. I wasn't using Guardian to automatically switch to another market so no idea what caused it.

The only way I could get it to stop was to pin the ladder so it was always on top.

Cheers Paul, I've just cleared the tick box. :D

I'm afraid that hasn't solved the problem. The main stream is still becoming active, apparently randomly.

Your instance must be possessed......
It did used to happen to me quite a few years ago with BA but then stopped. Going to ask a contender for the stupid question of the year awards but you do upgrade your versions? I only ask due to it happening before for me but not anymore.

Yes, but you've just reminded me to install the new beta version while waiting for the footie to start. :)
