I found a button in the IDL graphics preferences that
was set. The button was "Graphics windows stay on top".
This button was set in my Workbench.

With the button not selected, the function graphics
window appears in front of the Workbench when it is
created, but then disappears seemingly forever when
I click in the Workbench to type something. Nothing
I can find to do in the Workbench brings it forward.

I can find it again by either clicking on my IDL
icon in the taskbar at the bottom of my page,
finding the window I want, and clicking on it. Or,
I can find it by cycling through the 10-20 open
windows I have on my computer at any one time with
Alt-Tab. It disappears again when I do anything
in the Workbench.

Cheers,

David
