Floating window automatically changes active window behavior

Post by MedBooster »

If you have two PDF-XCE windows open and you move a floating toolbar it switches between showing one of the two windows, each time you move the floating toolbar

Maybe this is something you could fix?

Hello MedBooster,

Where exactly do you move the toolbar? From one of the windows to the other? Or was that floating toolbar made floating from one of these two Editor windows that you have and when you click on it - you get the same main Editor window active?

Kind regards,
Stefan

it doesn't matter where, whereever, and apparently the "active" window in the sense that it is highlighted in the taskbar actually remains the same, the issue is that the window which is at top changes. Every single time.

if 3 windows ("instances" of PDF-XCE) are open and you move a floating window it still just cycles between two windows on top, and the 3rd one it just skips (you see it for a milisecond)

Please give it a try

Maybe it is just something with my UI if this does not happen with you...
