I recently installed BOINC v7.4.26 on my MacBook Pro under OS X v10.6.8; it’s been working fine except that the Manager always opens its (Advanced View) window in the foreground when I start up, despite having its Hide box checked in the system’s Login Items preferences. Not a big deal, but does anyone have suggestions concerning possible causes or solutions?

P.S. I’ve left Manager in the Simple View for a couple of shutdown-startup cycles now, and it has stayed hidden. So the problem may only affect the Advanced View: will test that hypothesis over the next few days.

Well, so much for that theory: the Simple View also failed to hide itself following my last two starts, so I guess the problem is just intermittent.

IIRC, a reinstall had fixed this problem for me previously.
