Surely the tip is how to prevent this
Authored by: biscuit on Dec 04, '03 04:37:44AM

This behaviour came up in a thread over at the MacNN forums. In this case a user wanted to prevent this occurring in Safari. This can be easily achieved by leaving the downloads window open.

It seems as though the determining factor is the positions of the tops of windows. So if all your windows are up against the menu bar (like they often are in Safari) then this will occur. Clicking '+' on all your Word windows will align their tops too.

I agree that this is a quirk of the exposé algorithm. To call it a full-blown bug is a little strong.
