Hello @miko1aj77,

Would you mind sharing more details, like the OS/Illustrator/Photoshop version and a small screen recording of the problem, so I can better assist you?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Oh, thanks for asking. It's Sequoia and AI and PS are the newest versions (2025 – AI 29.3 and PS 26.3).

 

The screenshot would not tell you anything as it's a motion/UX problem. Once I open the vector object from the layer of PS in AI and move the window of AI sudennly PS pops up as a prior window on the screen. I tried to reinstall AI and it still appears.

Do you have Window > Application Frame on or off?
