TextWrangler always comes to front when switching monitors

Question

I have a late 2012 mac mini running OSX 10.9.3 and I'm curious if there is a setting that needs to be changed or if this is some sort of bug. I'm working with two monitors; one plugged into HDMI and the other using the display port with a VGA adapter.

Regardless of which application I am using on my VGA monitor, when I switch to the HDMI monitor by clicking into an application, TextWrangler comes to the front. I've searched through system settings and TextWrangler settings, but I couldn't find anything to fix this problem.

This is incredibly irritating and I'd appreciate any help.

Answer 1

Quitting TextWrangler and re-opening it fixed the problem.

Answer 2

If you are using the command line tools where you open it with

edit yourfile.txt

Then there is a flag you can use to open it in the background. You can defualt this via an alias in your .bash_profile or .cshrc

The flag is:

edit -b

The .bash_profle alias would look like:

alias edit='edit -b'
