Fusion 360 "Minimizing" After Many Operations

[mandicreally]

The last few days I've run into a weird bug.  After completing (or during the completion of is more accurate) random actions, Fusion 360 "minimizes" the entire window.  I haven't figured out exactly what operations are causing this, but it isn't just one.  Say I apply a "Chamfer" to an Edge of a part.  When I hit "OK" to apply the Chamfer, Fusion will take a second to think (normal), but suddenly some random other program on my PC will be what I'm looking at.  At first I thought it might be something like a weird "Always on Top" bug in whatever program, but after closing that one, another one becomes the "default" program.  It seems like Fusion 360 is basically "Minimizing" the window when these operations are completing.  

I put "Minimize" in quotes because it isn't actually Minimizing.  If I close other programs, or minimize other windows I can find the Fusion 360 screen still actively open and running, not minimized away.  "Minimizing" is just the best way I can describe the behavior.  It is like Fusion momentarily ceases to be open and whatever other programs I have running take precedence. 

So far I've noted it happens with the Fillet, Chamfer, Offset, & Extrude functions.  Which is the majority of operations I'm generally doing.  Sketching works just fine, as does pasting and moving bodies, or mirroring them.  It is so very strange.  

I've updated my graphics driver to the latest version since I noticed this issue and that made no difference. 

PC Specs: 

- Windows 10 21H2

- AMD Ryzen 9 5950X

- Nvidia Geforce RTX 3090Ti (Studio Drivers, not Game)

- 64GB DDR4 RAM

- Fusion installed on SATA SSD

Hi @mandicreally ,

Thanks for posting to Fusion 360 Forum,

Can I have a short video of the same, I will take a look into this and will check.

Did anyone figure this out? Its bugging me so much.

It's happening on a wider set of operations as well. Before it only seemed to happen when jobs took a while to complete. Now the app runs and hides when I make meshes of even simple things. 

<soapbox> It's such a trivial bug to reproduce and can't possibly be a huge lift to fix, yet here we are a year later. It's ridiculous. Autodesk management has a real blind spot for the many ways they've let this app rot.

Sounds a LOT like the bug that a lot of us have been reporting for a long time, where when running non-fullscreen, the Fusion window goes behind another application when some operation takes a few seconds. Not sure if the original poster on this one is running with Fusion fullscreen or not? When I (and a lot of other people) see it, its bringing another window to the top and sending Fusion back one level, hiding it behind the other application. Very annoying, the frequency of it happening seems to change release to release, but its been doing this for many months - other reports on the forum have been posted about this.
