Firstly, thank you for responding.

This was running in Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS, not windows.

Upgraded to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS yesterday w/ kernel 4.4.0

Still having the same prob, only now the BOINC Manager opens after any other window is closed. Don't know how to attach a screenshot of the manager, but; when the Notices button is selected it displays; "There are no notices at this time"
I have not seen any way to set exclusions for anything. The manager ran pretty much 'out of the box' and is much better than the old ways from several years ago.

As a retired QAA, I would be happy to test.

Originally installed and using the Boinc Manager v7.2.42 (x64) now using v.7
6.32 x64 and have the same problem.

Previously had been running seti@HOME 12/2016
Now runing milkyway@HOME 2016/03/13

My system
HP Pavilion g7 - 2269wm
AMD Quad-Core A8-4500M Accelerated Processor
17.3" diagonal HD+ BrightView LED Display
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Trinity [Radeon HD 7640G]
500 GB HDD
6144 MB DDR3 SDRAM
since 20140730-22:58 ~ Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS Trusty Tahr
Kernal 3.13.0.86-generic x86_64 ext4
BOINC UserID: 43551

After using the Boinc Manager I can click on the close or minimize button and the window seems to close.

The problem;
On closing the last other than BOINC window on my desktop; BOINC Manager window will open by itself. This will happen multiple times, seemingly without end. In most cases I do not want to see the manager again until something happens that requires my attention.

Is this SOP ? Boinc Manager window opening without being invoked.
Is this an undocumented feature ?
Is there a cure for this ?

I have found that IF I re-boot the problem ceases until I invoke BOINC Manager again. I do not think that I should have to re-boot every time I use the BOINC Manager.

Any assistance will be appreciated, even if it means that there is no cure for this problem.
