I cannot find an option to disable this automatic hiding/unhiding of the root file. Can anybody help?

Howdy,
Strangely I wasn't seeing this behavior and then I suddenly did see it but I'm not sure what made it come and then go away. Are you selecting the files and ``re-opening'' them? You don't have to do that with that auto-re-open option set; just open TeXShop.
Good Luck,
