This really doesn’t deserve its own thread, but it’s getting one anyway. CS has changed palette behavior, and for the worse (of course).
I leave the info palette open all the time. Sometimes it get buried behind other palettes and I usually don’t realize that I can’t see it until I’ve already begun a color adjustment (using Curves, for example). In previous versions of PS (6.01 to be exact) you could go to the Window drop down menu, click Hide Info, then click Show Info and the info palette would spring to the front, ready to use. I’ve always considered this a brilliant bit of user-friendly programming, the sort of thing that USED TO set Photoshop apart from other software. In CS, faced with the same circumstance, this accomplishes exactly nothing. If the info palette is behind something with you deselect it, it will remain behind that same thing when you reselect it which forces you to close the dialog box you’re working in, move the info palette (or whatever) to the front, and then resume.
