Multiple window issues

When I have multiple PDFs open acrobat automatically switches to another. For instance if I have 3 pdfs open and I go to the Window menu and select #3, it will go to 3 but as soon as I move my mouse it switches back to 1. This happens even if I alt tab between the windows. Anyone else having this problem or know how to resolve it?

Under Edit --> Preferences --> Documents category there are preferences for the Open setting for PDFs. Is the "Show each document in its own window" selected? The controls the behavior of the windows on your system. Try changing this selection to get the behavior you're looking for.
