Cannot get card windows on top

[supergrass]

Hello,

I am an XP SP2 user with Build 291 V 2.7.4 A.

In the IDE, I cannot get the card with focus to sit on top. I end up resizing or moving the different cards that are open (or minimising them) so that I can see the card I am working on. Is this a bug or have I missed a setting somewhere?

I should add that I have tried to use Ctrl + ' or the Send to Back under the window menu to no effect. View> Go First etc is a *kind of* workaround, but this is not standard windows behaviour.

I am running a second monitor with the notebook's display transferred to the second monitor.

I will try opening the stack file elsewhere to see if this is still an issue

Hi supergrass,

What do you mean exactly by "the card with focus"?
Have you tried

Code: Select all

go to card tCardName of stack tStackName

or more simply

Code: Select all

go to stack tStackName

Send to Back under the window menu to no effect.

Note that this is for controls on the card (buttons, fields, etc), not for cards.

What happens when you click on the stack, anywhere on the stack?

What are the settings of the other stacks. Does any of the other stacks appears with a very thin window bar at the top. If yes, this means they are in palette mode, which mean that they are meant (by settings) to float over other windows. This is set in (menu at the very top) > Object > Stack Inspector. Then on Basic Properties "Float above everything".

Thanks for the response Marielle,

What I meant is when I am in edit mode, I double click on cards in the Application Browser and they tile on the desktop.

Normal windows behaviour is if I click on the title bar of a card, I would expect it to jump to the foreground. Instead the first card of the main stack stays on top and I have to move it out of the way using click and drag or killing it altogether! Maybe this is normal on a Mac, however I find it annoying.

Marielle,

Thanks for the tip. I have now removed "float above everything" from the main stack and the windows are moving as expected.
