[Bug] Center panel is always on top

When running Spotify installed from the Arch AUR, the center web panel is always on top, even when a window is maximized or the Spotify window is minimized.

  • Dreamweaver Panels - Only one panel visible at a time, others get obscured even with Always On Top.

    I have a problem with my Dreamweaver MX, and it is that I can only see one panel at a time, any other open panels get obscured. For example, with the work space maximized, and having the properties and behaviors panels open, I can only see one of the panels at the same time. If I click on any area of the work space each open panel will display and with the next click the other will display. If I make the work space smaller then the whole area of my screen, and move any open panels outside of the Dreamweaver work space, only then they will stay visible. I know this is not normal behavior, because I used to be able to see all the open panels simultaneously, with the work space maximized to use all the screen area. I went to Preferences> Panels> Always On Top, and all the checkmarks are still set, so as to keep all panels on top at all times, but this does no longer be the case. Can someone tell me what happened here, and how I can get back to being able to see all the open panels? BTW, I tried installing older version of Dreamweaver 4, and the same thing happens to both installed versions. This is extremely annoying!
    Thanks. -Al.

    Since I upgraded to Firefox 19 from 18.0.2, on my Windows XP (SP3) laptop, I, too, can no longer open a new window. File-->New Window does nothing; also can no longer tear off a tab and open it in a new window (it stays where it is). Also, if I right-click on a tab and select Move to New Window, nothing happens. All of these worked fine in FF 18.0.2. All of these work fine with FF 19 on Windows 7. Only an issue on my XP laptop.
    After trying to open a new window, and not seeing the new window come up (and yes, I waited a long time), I decided to close my current window, which had multiple tabs open. Instead of just closing, it pops up the message reminding me that I'm about to close all those tabs. If I say close, and then go into the Task Manager, the Firefox application has disappeared (as expected), but the firefox (and plug-in container) processes are still running. So I have to manually kill the Firefox process to get it to quit. it's as if it thinks there is another Window open (the one I tried to open but never appeared). This happens every single time! I've restarted my laptop, and that does not resolve the problem.
    Is there a way to downgrade back to v 18.0.2 until this is fixed?

  • "Show Desktop" bug forces any program windows to be stuck "Always-on-top"

    What I found under Windows 7, when you use the "Show Desktop" feature (I prefer the ⊞ Win + D shortcut) and then bring all windows back by using it again, some windows behave as if they're glued to the front of the z-order. What this means is, say, I have windows
    A B and C open, with focus on A, hit ⊞ Win +D twice, and now it may happen that if I then want to switch to B or C, either by Alt+Tab or by selecting them on the taskbar, the taskbar shows the highlight, but A stays visible (and usable, it's not just a rendering
    issue) in the foreground.
    Imagine the following situations, all three windows cascading and overlapping:
    A (focus)
    B
    C
    -> ⊞ Win + D
    Desktop (focus)
    -> ⊞ Win + D
    A (focus)
    B
    C
    -> click C on taskbar
    A
    C (focus)
    B
    -> click B on taskbar
    A
    B (focus)
    C
    And so on. Focus means actual input focus, i.e. in second situation, any keyboard typing is sent to window B while window A is in the foreground.
    It does not matter what kind of application; in my current case an instance of Outlook and an instance of Explorer is stuck, while a second instance of Explorer and an instance of Firefox behave normally. This should show that this problem can occur even between
    multiple instances of the same application, and that there are no fancy applications involved that like to pretend they are the most important program and internally force "always on top".
    Showing and unshowing the desktop again doesn't help; in the worst case another window might end up with the "glued to the top of the z-order" too. Between those, I can easily switch, but in order to get a window which still behaves normally on top, I have
    to manually minimize the offending windows.
    The only cure seems to close the offending windows so far, I've not found anything else that helps.
    Could it be that Windows 7 has a bug that can force an ALWAYS_ON_TOP flag
    onto some windows when restoring from "Show Desktop", or am I doing something wrong?
    More information from another user:
    I use win+d. Issue easy to replicate, Win7-64bit-Ultimate.
    The affected windows (any program) seem to be placed into a separate "Z" group. You can place multiple/many windows into this always-on-top state, those in the affected state will function normally in relation to each other with the exception that: - The group
    as a whole is always-on-top of any non-affected window - The whole group is on top of the taskbar. - The whole group does not respond to (context on taskbar) "cascade windows" or similar commands.
    The fact that the affected windows are on top of the taskbar and otherwise function as "special windows" shows that windows 7 has a hidden "feature" of always-on-top that gets applied with Win+D. The feature appears to place windows in a super window state
    that is on top of the taskbar. The normal group remaining behind the taskbar. (When you click the start menu or context menu of the taskbar, the start menu/taskbar comes to the foreground of the always-on-top group, however this does not revert the affected
    windows, only a temporary takeover until you switch to something other than the start menu/taskbar)
    This is key to finding an answer. How do we get windows to unassign the special status or not do the assignment in the first place?

    It appeared to have cleared by closing all windows and restarting. Initially I could not reproduce the error, then after opening all my working windows, I did indeed reproduce it on any window.
    I almost think it could be initialized with something to do with multiple windows of Chrome, and then the show desktop problem will crop up once one window has it. This was because: After messing around some more with a chrome session saver (session buddy)
    and restoring sessions and getting the super state, I restored and closed the window I was in and now I am again at a place where I can not reproduce the error, even in my "work environment" with some 35 chrome tabs in two windows, plus other programs, file
    locations, remote desktops and a second chrome profile with another dozen tabs.
    So, back to square one with finding the actual instigator of the super state phenomenon.
    Once you actually have the super sate issue, the following will reproduce:
    Ok, I am doing this as I type it:
    Open chrome (to view this website), then Notepad, then Calculator, (could be any windows, but for the purpose of demonstration, follow along with me)
    The windows should function normally, overlap your windows so that you can see the edge of all windows and the Z-order is (from front to back):the browser on top, then the calculator, then Notepad (you should be able to see part of the background windows).
    Now, with the browser on top, press win+d, then win+d again.
    Click on Calculator, then your browser, your browser is now stuck in the foreground. Clicking on notepad will bring the focus to notepad, and it will be in front of the calculator, yet it will stay behind the browser, as your browser is in "super state". (many
    arrangements of switching focus after returning from win+d will create the problem, with the exeption of clicking the desktop, I also noticed that I could not get calculator into super state unless it overlapped my chrome browser).
    Again, this does not seem to work until at least one of your windows is affected. We do not know how to get the initial window, only subsequent ones.
    I will post back if I find anything else.
    Let me know if there is anything that develops.

    As the title I can have inside a JDesktopPane some JinternalFrame "always on top" compared to one that makes the background?You might get better help by explaining what you want to achieve, rather than how you want to achieve it.
    You can do custom painting in a JDesktopPane, you know.

  • "always on top" in fullscreen mode; disable switching away

    Hi,
    I am trying to write a mode for emacs that will keep out as many distractions as possible.  When activated, I can't switch away from the file I'm working on.
    Unfortunately, I can *easily* switch away from my fullscreen Emacs to my webbrowser or email program, and Gnome notifications appear on my screen on top of the Emacs window.
    Is there a way for me to push a fullscreen Emacs window (what Emacs users call a frame) to the top of the windowing stack and DISABLE SWITCHING AWAY FROM IT, while also stopping other windows from poppint above it in the stack?  I'm using Gnome right now, so something gnome-specific would be great, as would any generic solution for X.  There is an "always on top" option for windows in gnome (I am using the default window manager, whatever it is now -- metacity?  compiz? I don't even know anymore!), but it is disabled for fullscreen windows.  that makes sense, normally, but I would like to suspend some of the computer's functionality when I'm writing. 
    Also:  perhaps this deserves its own thread, but it would be nice if notification windows didn't overlay themselves on top of the window that I make this way.
    Thank you!
    Matt

    Hi,
    You say you're using gnome so the default window manager for that would be mutter. The gnome notifications can be turned off from
    gnome-control-center
      I don't know if that's an acceptable solution for you. As for disabling switching to other windows, I've had look in
    dconf-editor
    org --> gnome --> desktop --> wm --> preferences but I don't think I can much that's relevant there. Would disabling raise-on-click deliver the desired behaviour? Otherwise, you could try seeing whether there is an extension at https://extensions.gnome.org/.
    Hope you find what you're looking for

  • Microphone bug? Microphone index always 0.

    LCCS Microphone bug? Microphone index always 0.
    LCCS 1.5.0.    Flash Player 10.3.181.34
    When a user changed the microphone (using right click -> settings -> microphone, or Security.showSettings(SecurityPanel.MICROPHONE)) AudioPublisher  still using mic with 0 index.
    I look into code and find:
    MicrophoneManager
    protected var _micIndex:Number ;  //TODO what is this initially (default)?
    * Returns the currently selected microphone.
    public function get selectedMic():Microphone
       // trace('get selected mic, player');
       _if(!_mic)
          _mic = Microphone.getMicrophone(_micIndex);        <--- Here
    Solution:
    1. Now: Create my "Settings" panel, where user must manually change mic (not by Flash Security).
    2. Want:
       Set "_micIndex" default value to -1;
    Than check:
       if(!_mic)
          _mic = _micIndex == -1 ? Microphone.getMicrophone(_micIndex) : Microphone.getMicrophone();
    Or another solution. But it will be good if it work wright.

    Hi There,
      First of all, thanks for taking the time to report your issue - it always helps.
      Interesting. We'll test to see if we see the same bug, and if so, we'll include a fix for the release-after-next. The next release is coming up very shortly, so we're out of time for fixes there.
      thanks again!

  • Make modal dialog box "Always on Top"

    i know there has been discussion about Frame always on top etc. but i have a slightly different problem.
    I have a Modal Dialog box which goes to the background when the parent window loses focus and gains it back.
    i am working on java version1.4. So the new methof in 1.5 version is of no use. Also i am working on Windows XP SP1.
    Do i have to make the dialogbox extend OptionPane instead of JDialo, which i am doing rt now?
    but OptionPane comes with a baggage and unnecessary code which i have to implement etc.
    Is there any easier way to solve this issue.
    Thanks
    PM

    This solution works for me under J2SDK v1.4.2_03. If you were to use it on a large scale, you'd probably want to develop a bit more of a formalized framework for it.
            final JFrame test_frame = new JFrame("Test");
            test_frame.getContentPane().setLayout(new BoxLayout(test_frame.getContentPane(), BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));
            JPanel panel = new JPanel(new FlowLayout());
            test_frame.getContentPane().add(panel);
            final JDialog[] modal_dialog = new JDialog[]{null};
            final JDialog d = new JDialog(test_frame, "Bah", true);
            JButton close = new JButton("Close");
            d.getContentPane().add(close);
            close.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
                public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
                    d.setVisible(false);
                    modal_dialog[0] = null;
            FocusListener fl = new FocusAdapter()
                public void focusGained(FocusEvent e)
                    if (modal_dialog[0]!=null)
                        modal_dialog[0].requestFocus();
            test_frame.addFocusListener(fl);
            JButton open = new JButton("Open");
            panel.add(open);
            open.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
                public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
                    modal_dialog[0] = d;

  • Dragging Document Windows - (Always On Top)?

    PS CS4 - latest
    A few times, I've dragged a document window over(on top of) a set of panels (layers,channels, etc). Once I let go of the mouse, the title bar of that window (the draggable bar) is placed behind the panels (I'm in standard screen mode). Most of the time this isn't an issue, and probably because I've never dragged a small enough document window over a panel set for this to be an issue worth asking about (all times before, the document window was wide enough to extend out behind the panel(s), so I was still able to click on the title bar. So, after moving this small window and letting go of the mouse, the title bar is completely hidden behind the panel. I know I can move the panels around and/or minimize the panels, but I'm wondering if there is a setting where you can have your document windows (always on top) of other panels?

    If you loose a window behind your panels just hit the tab key which hides all tool bars and panels, drag out your window and hit tab key to make your tools/panels visible again. Panels will always be on top of windows.

  • Windows "Always on Top"

    I am trying to get a window to "always remain on top" or float above all windows, regardless of where I click. For example, if you zoom Itunes into a smaller window, it always floats above all windows. How do I do this with other windows? It helps when working on multiple applications to keep a source document in a window "always on top" and prevented from being hidden.

    Thank you. That seemed to do the trick.
    Is it possible that my panels in CS3 were always floating, allowing me to prevent them from being covered? I'm just thinking that it seems odd that panels could be covered at all. You loose a lot of editing abilities when one can't see them!

  • Flash always on top in Safari 5.0.5

    Hi,
    I have some problems with flash in Safari 5.0.5 with Flash Player 10.2. My flash banners is always on top and covers menus and popups. wmode and z-index seems to be correct. It works as expected in the latest nightly build of webkit and Google Chrome, but not Safari.
    Here is the webpage, scroll down and you will see the flash covering the top menu: http://www.booli.se/bostad/villa/hisingen/plockerotegatan+16/786830
    I found this question on the same topic (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2458855?start=0&tstart=0) where the problem was said to be solved with Safari 5.0.1. A test site was set up in that thread by user suastegui which can be found here: http://www.guru.ag/fl2/iframeTest/index.html. On this page the flash is still covering the other elements for me.
    Any ideas?

    I am in the same boat. I cannot watch flash videos on the BBC website or on BBC iPlayer, although all other flash videos (YouTube for example) are fine.
    For reasons that passeth all understanding, they work with the PPC version of Firefox, called TenFourFoxG5.app, once you have anabled plug-ins, as it does not natively support Flash.
    You can download TenFourFoxG5 from here:
    http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
    Now for the intersting bit: TenFourFox, like Firefox, does not support most plug-ins. Unless you are prone to headaches (in which case don't) you can read about that here:
    http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/wiki/PluginsNoLongerSupported
    But there is a workaround!
    Open TenFourFox and type in the address bar: about:config (no spaces) and click return. This gives you a warning that it might harm the application. Ignore that and click on 'I'll be careful, I promise' and you get the config file that you can edit - with great care.
    Look/search (scroll down) for: tenfourfox.plugins.enabled
    Set it to true. (Double click it to toggle it)
    Now close TenFourFox, open it again, and Flash will now work, as it now uses the plug-ins that Safari has stored.
    I am using Flash 10.1.102.64 in TenFourFox and it works just fine.

  • How to keep toolbar in Photoshop CS5 always on top

    I have just upgraded to CS5 from CS3. In CS5, when I move an open document around on screen it covers over the toolbar, but only if the toolbar is docked to the side of window.  It will also cover the property bar and menu bar at the top of the interface.  The palettes on the r/h side always stay on top if not docked to the edge of the window, but if docked they too get covered over. In CS3 all the interface items stayed on top.  Is there any way to make sure they is always on top when docked (I prefer not to have them free floating)?
    I'm using Vista Ultimate.  My monitor is a Dell 24" Ultrasharp running at native 1920x1200 res.

    Thanks for the suggestion.  Turning OpenGL off makes no difference, and with it turned on I have also tried the three different quality settings, none of which made any difference either.
    I've also just tried with CS5 in a window, rather than fully maximised, and like that I can actually drag an open image right outside the Photoshop interface!

  • Create a pdf where the Bookmark Navigation Panel is always shown on start up

    Hi all,
    I have Acrobat 8.0 & InDesign 5.0.1.
    I have created a .pdf with Bookmarks to aid navigation.
    I would like the Bookmarks Navigation Panel to always show when pdf is opened in Adobe reader, not just on my machine but on everyone who recives the file - is this possible?
    The reason for this is some users may not know to open the bookmark panel to aid navigation.
    Thanks in advance all.

    Thanks Brend,
    Worked perfectly. Some very useful settings in there as well.

  • JOptionPane show Message Dialog always on top found a Solution

    just thought of a solution for the age old java problem with message boxes / dialogs / input .
    It's funny when you google it you'll find like a million people asking for a solution but none or very few that gives an answer that works.
    this is probly not a new solution but i came up with this yesterday and thought i would "share".
    dunno why the java developers hasnt made a always on top function for this since there seems to be a very high demand for it.
    this hax will hopefully work at all times.
    hope google will find this thread, i searched for a solution yesterday and found none? which is surprising and im a pro googler too.
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class main{
         public static void main(String args[]){
              JFrame j=new JFrame();
              j.setAlwaysOnTop(true);
              j.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
              j.setVisible(true);
              j.setVisible(false);
              JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(j,"hi");
              System.exit(0);
    }

    I didn't realize it was an "age old problem." The JOptionPane's showXXX methods just show an ordinary modal dialog. If you want to set the alwaysOnTop property of said dialog then you just need to obtain a reference and call the method in question.
    JOptionPane op = new JOptionPane("hi",JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
    JDialog dialog = op.createDialog("Message Dialog");
    dialog.setAlwaysOnTop(true); //<-- this line
    dialog.setModal(true);
    dialog.setDefaultCloseOperation(JDialog.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
    dialog.setVisible(true);No need for an intermediate frame.
