The only repeatable difference I could discover between the times the style dialog opened in the foreground and when it opened in the background was this:

if I DOUBLE clicked in the text box that displays the name of the current style, the dialog box would open BEHIND the main window. However, if I SINGLE clicked in that text box, it would open as expected, in the foreground.
===========================

Yes, if you double click the styles edit control to launch the stylepicker, and it is the first time that you have done this in the session (so that you see a "initializing accompaniment functions yellow label), then the stylepicker dialog opens up behind RealBand. The solution is to alt-tab and get to the dialog, and in the future to single click that styles label (instead of double click). We'll work on a solution that prevents it in the first place. That label is intended for a single click, perhaps the solution will be to make it a double click for everyone.

Have Fun!
