Outlook '07 - Behavior when sending from Word/Excel as an attachment?

Colleagues, tell me, please.
Situation: machines in the domain have Win XP/Win 7 and MS Office 2007 installed, with all the latest updates.
Open Outlook. Open a Word/Excel file and send the document as an e-mail attachment:

A new message window opens that overlays the main Outlook window. You cannot switch to the main window except by sending an email with an attachment or by closing a new message created by Word/Excel. Moreover, if you hover the cursor on the main window in the Win 7 taskbar, the system will show it, but when you click on it, it will instantly switch to the new message window.
Does everyone have this bug?

It's not a bug, it's a feature.
When you send from Word/Excel it intercepts the Outlook process.
Likewise, you will not be able to close the Word/Excel window while the new mail window is open.
Now I will find you a record from KB.

I also (on 7-ke + 2010) somehow didn’t notice this before, or maybe they made something in the new updates :)

Didn't find what you were looking for?
