Foundry Bug - Floating Windows

I've just started having a game breaker of a Foundry issue since the last patch, is anyone else experiencing this?

I have items in the Foundry UI that are staying "on top" of every other element of the UI. What this means is that I cannot select the OK button to add NPC animations, I cannot add new maps, and there are probably many other things that I cannot do; basically anything that has an "OK" prompt on a dialog window that is static and cannot be moved. And since there are no TAB orders in the Foundry UI, I can't tab over to the confirmation button either. Used to be able to use Windows NT without a mouse.... ;-)

Just wondering if this is alamañanaffecting everyone before I dig deeper into it and/or submit a ticket (if it's a widespread issue)

    I only had some problems with drop down menus, sometimes they just don't appear and must select the "action/objective" with the arrow keys.

    As you can see (click for larger version), the Asset Library is overlapping everything, and the Zoom, Detail, Layout portion on the left is doing the same as well. I am doing a Force Verify now to see if that resolves the issue.

    No dice. Running a Force Verify does NOT resolve the issue. Hmmm... since no one else is having this problem, it's not a bug, per-se, so no point in submitting a bug report. Looks like I'm on my own on this one. Might try uninstalling and reinstalling, although, that will require some rum!

    yep I'm having the same bug, it happens most of the times in maps that have too many assets (close to 1700) :(

    Whoa, thanks! You just saved me from an lengthy uninstallation and reinstall. Let me test with another map.

    Confirmed! I removed about 800 assets and "Voila!" it worked. Thanks for the implied suggestion, I guess this is a bug. Looks like the finishing touches will need to be added at the end of development.

    I prefer to divide my quest into several smaller maps to keep the asset count low, and less risks of bugs :)

    It should be noted that this bug also occurs when you have lots of links between objects, for instance, on a much less dense map where I had a lot of effects that appear at a certain part, this bug started happening for me.

    EDIT: As a for instance, my Davinbon Estate map has 1200 detail slots used, but has a mess of links, which is now causing the UI window focus bug.
