Window with SystemWindow not really floats above everything

Hi.

Do you mean to indicate that the dock shows above the window? If so, I am not sure a window can ever cover that gadget. It would be like a window covering the menubar, though the OS prevents any such outrage.

Of course, you could always simply ensure that the dock is hidden, or that the bottom of the window always lies above it.

Of course, I could be wrong.

I Craig, sorry, the image is not so clear. If you note, what is wrong there, I thing, is that the LC window, stays between the Dock's background, and the Dock's icons. I think that the correct behaviour should be the one you descrived: LC window under the Dock.

Hmmm.

Now I am not sure what I am seeing. It looks like the dock background is the same color as the edge of the window. Is this a coincidence? Can you change the color of either to make sure each layer is distinct?

How does this behave in v6.7?

[Mag]

FourthWorld, I haven't tested yet with 6.7, if the bug will be not confirmed I will do more test to try to isolate the problem.

Craig , maybe in this screenshot is more clear.

PS
OK, filled a bug report: http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=12678

Ah.

That is indeed more clear. Note that I do not see this in v. 6.5.2 on OS 10.5.8 (PPC).

@Mag: Thanks for filing the bug report, but it will be very helpful to the team if you could also test this on v6.7.

6.2.2 has already shipped, so of course it can't be enhanced. Any further work would go into a future version, such as v6.7 which is already in testing.

6.7 is especially useful for testing Mac-specific issues because it represents RunRev's first Cocoa-based deployment, a major overhaul necessary for Mac deployments going forward.

Given the deep changes in v6.7, esp. in areas related to window rendering, it would be ideal to submit any future bug reports against that version, so they can be addressed before shipping.

Hi Richard,

tested, this problem is present in

6.5.0
6.7.0 dp 4
7.0.0 dp 6

Both Community and Commercial.

Thanks for double-checking that, Mag.

To help maintain the visibility of the bug as a current one, it may be useful to add your latest test results in a new comment in the report, changing the target version from 6.6.2 RC 6 to 6.7. DP 4 which is still in active development.

Thank you Richard.
