P: CC jumps to front when opening files in the background.

Yes, the problem is gone! Thanks!

Oh, that. Yes. Separate issue.

I'm opening raws and the file itself will open and show in the font, but the application remains behind other windows, which means the tools and such are not visible or usable till I click the photoshop icon in my toolbar to bring it all to front (behind the open photo). Is there a way to toggle this in preferences or somewhere so that it automatically comes to the front when a file is opened, raw or jpeg.

I find that what happens is PS will force its way to the front for certain moments during the process, but that doesn't mean it will be in front once it's finished. If you're opening jpegs, it may not come to the front. If you're opening RAWs or tifs, it probably will.

I actually have the opposite problem. I have finder windows and things open and I open a photo by dragging it onto the photoshop app in the toolbar. The photo opens but photoshop doesn't come to front. I have to click on the app to get the tools and things to appear and come to front. Does anyone know how to toggle this?

OMG! Why not fix this?  ADOBE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  KHAAAAAAAAAN!

Still a very annoying problem! 

Happening to me too ... utterfly frustrating! Adobe please get this one sorted! 

same here, so bloody annoying, it does it 3 times, everytime i alt - tab back to what i was doing whilst ps is loading and it pops back up.
