TheCarloJ 0 Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Hi - I did a couple searches, and found nothing about anyone else having this problem. I have Evernote setup so that the note panel is not viewed in the primary window. Every time I create a new note it opens in the background of every other window that I have open. Any suggestions to solve this? Much appreciated.
Level 5* JMichaelTX 4,119 Posted February 18, 2015 Level 5* Posted February 18, 2015 If you press the global shortcut key to create a new Note, Evernote should open that note in a new window on top of everything else.You can set this shortcut key in Preferences (Mac) or Options (Win). Does this work for you?
TheCarloJ 0 Posted February 18, 2015 Author Posted February 18, 2015 JMichael - Are you refering to the shortcut using "Ctrl + Alt + N" to open a new note? If so I get the same result, new note opens behind all the other windows. That was my first attempt to solve the problem. Thanks though!

Thanks though!On my current machine (Win 7), Ctrl+Alt+N opens a new note in a window that's above other windows.
Level 5* CalS 5,311 Posted February 18, 2015 Level 5* Posted February 18, 2015 Mine works the same as Jeff's. Out of interest, if you set it up so that note panel does appear in the primary window will the shortcut work then? That is a difference.... If it does work then you might consider a trouble ticket to determine if this is a specific design consideration or a bug.
TheCarloJ 0 Posted February 20, 2015 Author Posted February 20, 2015 I tried changing the setting for the note panel and still had the same problem. I just submitted a ticket; hopefully they can help.
EmpressG 2 Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 I too am having this problem on a new Win 10 computer. I don't see a setting in options to change anything, I believe I have the latest build.
GerryS 0 Posted September 6, 2016 Posted September 6, 2016 I'm still having this issue. Has anyone found a solution? (Also a PC on Win10)
Tim-tecset 0 Posted October 19, 2016 Posted October 19, 2016 +1 I'm having the same issue. Windows 10. Doesn't matter if I hit CTRL+N; CTRL+ALT+N or the "New Note" button - they always open out of focus and I have to go and find them. I know it's a niggly problem, but when you're in the flow of brainstorming and typing, it's a pain to go and find the window every time. One workaround: Tools > Options > Note > untick "Create new notes in a new window" I'm not going to do this, as I want to open several notes at once and keep them open, but it is one way to start typing without having to go and find the window.
Ex Employees Austin G 527 Posted October 20, 2016 Ex Employees Posted October 20, 2016 Try these steps. Tools > Options > Note > and uncheck "Create new notes in a new window" File>Exit Open Evernote Tools > Options > Note > and check "Create new notes in a new window" Let us know if the issue continues.

Rob Grant 2 Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 Ha, yes, thanks Austin, that worked for me second time I tried it. First time it did nothing - then later I found that Evernote had not really exited. A warning dialog about losing clipping functionality had popped up when I first tried to exit... but I didn't see this because it appeared behind all my other windows! Second time I searched this out & gave it the OK. Restarted EN and problem gone. Thanks!

Nice. Fixed it for me.

I've tried this (I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling) and I'm still getting this issue.
bnkeane 2 Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 I tried the fix above on the current version of evernote and I still have the issue. Has something changed in a recent release?
