laptop and a wrench

Bug

When background geoprocessing is disabled and any GP tool is run from Windows > Search > Search Window Open Up > Search, ArcMap hides under the other window and becomes inactive when the tool completes. This occurs when ArcMap is sitting on top of another application (e.g., MS IE or Mozilla) and the Tools toolbar is docked somewhere in the ArcMap interface.
