In OSX (10.6.8) and Photoshop CS6, when working with multiple files open, when one Alt+Tab, or Expose to other applications and then returns to PS, PS does not make the last file that one was working on as the active file. Instead it may make one of the other files that is open, that may be hidden under all the other open windows, as the active document. This happens when "Open documents in Tabs" is unchecked in the preferences.
Meaning if I were to Alt+Tab back to PS, then run an action, the action might be activated on one of the other files not at the top of the workspace. Thus making the user wonder if any change was made to the last document (the document at the top of all the windows). An annoying kink to have to always check which active document one is working on, if one switches to open Applications a lot.
