Pub Apps open only one responds

XPa running all published apps. With 2 or more apps open, sometimes only one app will respond. Clicking an item in the task bar will pull up the app, but as soon as you try to click or type within the app, the title bar goes gray, like it want to go to an unseen dialog box. Can't find any pattern. Often cannot terminate app, but have to log off and log back in.

ICA connection center does not show any "unseen" apps.

No pattern as to what combination of apps or what the trigger is, but it is happening to all the users.
 
Still looking for any help on this one.
 
When you try to open the other app, has it already been opened previously, and not closed the previous session? Do you have either of these settings on the Application Enabled? :-

Application Limits

Limit instances run on server farm
or
Allow only one instance of application for each user.

The other app is already open, just when you go to its window, as soon as you click the mouse, the title bar goes grey/window goes inactive. For example, say we already have Word, Excel, Internet Explorer and GroupWise open. At some point, only the Word window is "usable". When you go to ANY of the other open Windows/apps, the Window goes inactive as soon as you try to do something.

We do limit most apps to one instance per user.

Another interesting note, if you ALT-TAB to one of the other Windows, you can work using the keyboard, but as soon as you click or try to use the mouse, the title bar goes gray and it doesn't respond to the mouse.

Really stuck on this.
