Symptoms

After upgrading the Citrix client software to the latest Receiver 3.x version, the customer noticed that intermittently, Published Application seamless windows are losing focus and staying on top of other windows even though they are not the active window.
The issue was not seen with previous Citrix client versions (e.g. version 11.x and 12.x)

Cause

The issue exact cause is unknown, but seems to be related to changes in the gain focus behavior of the new Citrix Receiver 3.x

Citrix, VMware, Microsoft Monitoring in a SaaS Solution

From Douglas A. Brown

I have a fresh twist on an old problem for you today! I’ve been checking out the guys at LogicMonitor and they make a really cool performance-monitoring tool.
Unlike all the others, theirs is 100% in the cloud. Yup, powerful but simple, you're up and running in minutes. They support VMware, Citrix, Microsoft Hyper-V, plus all your networking gear, storage systems, and applications too. Basically everything in your data center in a single UI. I’m very impressed. Thought you might be interested too. Here’s more.
LogicMonitor’s pre-configured monitoring templates and automation reduce your deployment time from the typical months with premise-based monitoring solutions, down to just minutes.
Being SaaS-based, there are no servers to setup and maintain, no scripts to write, and no tedious configuration. It’s as close to plug & play monitoring as you can get.
You’ll have instant visibility and alerting for everything in your data center including:

• Hypervisors (Citrix,VMware, Microsoft Hyper-V)
• Servers via WMI (Windows Server systems)
• Servers via SNMP (UNIX, Linux, Windows)
• Routers (Cisco, Juniper, etc.)
• Switches (Cisco, Juniper, Arista, etc.)
• Firewalls (Cisco, Juniper, NetScreen, SonicWALL, Fortinet, etc.)
• Storage Systems (NetApp, HP, Dell, EMC, etc.)
• Load balancers (F5, NetScaler, Kemp, etc.)
• Databases (SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle, MongoDB, etc.)
• Server Applications (Exchange, Apache, IIS, NGNX, Java, Tomcat)

Very impressive and it is easy to try too. You can try the full version of LogicMonitor FREE.
