Hiding and Showing Outlook does not bring back focus correctly

With my update to 14.5.0, Outlook is no longer hiding/showing properly.  From reading other posts, it seems like I might be lucky the window is appearing at all, however, the following is utterly repeatable:

Step 1:  With the Inbox window showing (can be lone window or can be multiple windows), hide Outlook using command-H or the choice to "Hide" in the Outlook drop-down menu.

Step 2:  Show Outlook in any way (command tab, dock, Drag Thing, Witch, etc.)

Step 3:  Click on any email in the Inbox.

Step 4:  Bang head in frustration, as that email will not appear in the reading pane, won't open when double-clicked, and is generally non-responsive.

The "fix" is to simply click the Inbox title bar.  Weird, I know.  But for some reason, "showing" Outlook is not COMPLETELY setting the focus to that Inbox that's open.  I've tried on multiple computers with the same, repeatable behavior.

Any chance of advice?

I am running OS X 10.9.5 on a Macbook Pro, and the Outlook version is was JUST RECENTLY (in the last few days) updated to 14.5.0, so I'm 99% sure that this update caused it... but I'm also pretty sure that I was running 14.2.0 prior to this update.  Happy to discuss:  *** Email address is removed for privacy ***
