It gets worse! When two or more documents are open in a tabbed view, switching document tabs often seems to remove the 'set window to page' setting. This is really annoying, and with the workspace I've got set up, means that a bunch of pods on the right-hand side (I'm left-handed) are repeatedly overlaid by a large blank gray area, requiring 'set window to page' to be repeatedly re-selected again. Can this really be the intended behavior?

I'm running FrameMaker 12 under Win7 in Parallels, but that should not make any difference, although what happens when switching views sometimes seems to be affected by whether or not full-screen viewing is enabled. An app like FrameMaker shouldn't make more fingerwork for users.

I guess I'm just grumbling, so I'll stop, but it anyone has experience of taming document window behavior in when using FrameMaker in Parallels I'd be happy to hear about it.
