I have deployed Acrobat 8 Reader, Standard and Professional 8 out to a large test group. One potential bug we seem to notice is that if you have multiple PDF's open, when you select any other PDF besides the initial PDF you opened, the second PDF will display until you move the mouse then the first PDF will pop back up infront of the second, third, etc...pdf. Has anyone else seen this behavior?

What type of environment (OS) are you experiencing this behavior? Do you see this same issue with the latest updates (8.1.2)?

Acrobat 8 has a Single Document Interface (SDI) implementation. SDI is a method used by Acrobat to display each document in a single top-level floating window. This differs from the multiple document interface (MDI) where all documents are constrained by a single top-level window that acts as a container for its child windows. Previous versions of Acrobat used MDI. For more information on SDI check out the follow white paper at:
