Disable always on top?

I'm running acrobat X pro on windows 8.1. I've had no problems but recently the window is staying on top of all others, it is very annoying. I couldn't find any way to disable this in the preferences menu.

  • Always on top feature for inspector window

    Are there any ability to enable/disable 'Always on top' feature for inspector shown in separate window in Mac OS ? On my laptop not always comfortable to keep inspector in browser window. On Ubuntu window managers allow to pin windows always on top but mac os has no abilities to do it. (using firefox developer edition)

    Elizabeth,
    As part of the showTopic() implementation OHJ calls toFront()
    to bring the help window to the front. If this isn't working
    in a particular case, please let us know. I don't think any
    permanent "on top" feature is feasible, since OHJ windows are
    normal Java dialogs and frames and selecting another Java
    window will activate it instead of OHJ.

  • "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

  • Disabling always ontop for wifi pop-up window

    I'm not sure this is the correct forum in do this in, but I have a problem with using the Wifi at my university and the multi-desktop feature of OS X Yosemite.
    When I log onto my university wifi it comes up with a Safari pop-up window detailing my internet usage. Unfortunately, it doesn't take into account the multi-desktop feature of OS X Yosemite. The window is always on top of all the desktops - it sits in front of my Word document, my pdf document, my general web browsing etc. When I swipe between the desktops it just just comes along and gets in the way.
    There are no options on the window other than closing it. Unfortunately, if I close the window, it disables my connection.
    Is there a way to disable the 'always on top' nature of this window?

    The answer was provided here:How to stop the wifi pop-up window?

  • Windows 7 applications open with a random "always on top" attribute

    On my Windows 7 Professional 64bit Machine, a newly opened window will have an "always on top" attribute.  This seems to be independent of the application (In other words, it seems to affect all applications).

    Hi,
    I suggest you take a clean boot check whether it is caused by the third party applications.
    How to clean boot:

    Please monitor the system in the Clean Boot environment. If the problem does not occur, it indicates that the problem is related to one application or service we have disabled. You may use
    the MSCONFIG tool again to re-enable the disabled item one by one to find out the culprit.

  • Firefox windows, always on top ?

    Since my upgrade to Leopard my browser windows are always on top, even when I open the dashboard widgets. So I can't see half of them.
    The window will be grey [inactive] but refuses to disappear to the background and make room for my desktop or whatever window I want to see. Only minimize will make it disappear. Firefox has been updated to the latest version, so that is not the problem.
    Anybody ?

    I've been having this problem for the last few days and it's driving me insane. I read that if you disable the 'show downloads window' in the preferences, the problem seems to go away. This is not the case for me. I have restarted, etc. but the dang thing keeps doing it and I can't figure out the trigger.
    Any other ideas? I'm seriously considering switching to the 3 Beta, but I don't want to lose the few add-ons I use.
    Thanks!

  • Inspector and Library Window are always on top in Interface Builder

    Hi,
    Inspector and Library Window are always on top in Interface Builder. I use a small 13" macbook screen most of the time and I don't have a lot of room. Just wondering if I can disable this so I can have my work area hover over the library and inspector when I'm not using them.
    Thanks

    I still have not been able to figure this out. The best I could do is resize each of these windows to really small and maximize them when using them. But they're still always on top and this is really annoying.

  • WHY IS FIREFOX ALWAYS ON TOP. WHY THIS CHANGE?

    I was able to open a file over top of Firefox, and could switch back and forth between them. Now it is "always on top" and must be minimized to get to other programs (example word)

    Just in case you are in full screen mode, try using the F11 key to switch to normal mode. (If that switches to full screen mode, use F11 to switch back.)
    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    <b> To Enable SafeMode </b>
    *You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    *''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
    Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")

  • 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?

    BBC iPlayer relies on Adobe Air. AIR 1.5.3 is the last version of AIR that supports Mac PowerPC and Windows 2000. AIR applications that require AIR 2 or later cannot be installed or used on a Macintosh PowerPC or a computer running the Windows 2000 operating system.
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/853/cpsid_85304.html
    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.

  • 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.

  • 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!
