Rolf,
I am wondering how the alarms work. If I understand it, the alarm goes off and the details display when the program is running.
If the program is running and the display appears but I do nothing, what happens? Does it just set there even after the event has passed?
Missed reminders and missed snoozed reminders (those that passed whilst the
reminders program was not running) are removed when the program starts. The
exception to this rule, is for those reminders which repeat weekly or a longer
period. This is to avoid a rash of useless reminders if you start the program after
having not used it for a while. The reason for not doing this for those longer
period reminders, is that they might be very important and even a late reminder may
be useful.
Snoozed reminders, unless re-snoozed are removed, once acknowledged.
Reminders is just that, it reminds you of something, it is not an Event calendar.
It does not advance reminders into the future ad-infinitum, instead it keeps track
of just the next occurrence of the reminder and if that reminder repeats, it
creates a new entry once the existing reminder has been issued. This keep the
database really compact.
Sorry if I am unclear. Let's try again.

Indeed, let's try again!
A reminder or a snooze is executed as an Always on Top, modal window. Thus the OS should present it on top of all other windows and insist on a response, be it a Click or an Enter on the focused window.
If this is failing, I would have thought that other applications would be acting up as well.
