Hi, I just upgraded from 10.6 to 11.0.0.116. When I click the filter  
icon, or select the drop down next to the icon and select ‘new filter’,  
Toad flashes, then freezes. If I then hit the escape button, Toad  
flashes and unfreezes. No filter window appears. I think this means  
that the filter window is opening up behind the schema browser where I  
can’t get to it. Is there anything I can do to bring it to the front?

You could try hitting alt+space to see if that brings up the window’s menu bar - select Move if it does, then use your cursor keys to move the hidden window into view.

You may need to resize toad first if you’ve maximised it
