Auto hide windows acting strangely

I have a problem with the ide that, while I have a workaround, is still
annoying.

I have all the windows, help, properties, toolbox, call stack, watch,
etc. set to auto-hide. There are times that the Properties window, Watch 1
window and Call Stack window will not popup when I put the mouse
cursor over its tab or click on the tab. To get the window to popup I
need to move the cursor over any other tab, when that window pops up I
slide the cursor down to the desired tab and click it, then slide the
cursor to the edge of the displayed window and resize it. As soon as
I move the edge of the window the desired window appears. I've gotten
quite good at this workaround but I'd like to have it done
automatically again if possible.

The problem is intermittant with the properties window but consistent
with the Call Stack and Watch 1 windows. All other windows work fine.

If any one has a solution I'd appreciate hearing about it.

James
