Preserving window z-order

[sfarrow]

I have an application with several visible and overlapping windows. When a window is closed, the window that is given focus is not that at the top of the z-order of the remaining windows.

It is certainly an annoyance to have windows you do not expect to be popping to the foreground.

What version of the LPS are you using? In 2.1.2, windows do retain their z-order as far as I can tell.

I am using lps 2.1.1. I will download and try 2.1.2.

I have installed lps 2.1.2. Window z-order is still problematic. I can reproduce the problem with the trivial example below. Closing Window Three I would expect Window Two to have focus, but Window One is brought to the foreground.


<canvas height="1000" width="1000">
<window x="10" y="10" width="300" height="200"
title="Window One"
resizable="true" closeable="true">
</window>
<window x="30" y="30" width="300" height="200"
title="Window Two"
resizable="true" closeable="true">
</window>
<window x="50" y="50" width="300" height="200"
title="Window Three"
resizable="true" closeable="true">
</window>
</canvas>

You're absolutely right - I had tried a test case of my own, but I didn't notice the behavior. I think it's because in my testcase I didn't position the windows, so after dragging them around a little, I reordered them so the one I expected to focus actually did.

I've filed this as a bug, and will let you know as soon as I hear anything.

Take care,

Hi Antun,

I know this is a fairly old thread but I just wanted to note that this problem still exists in 3.0b1. I understand that 3.0b2 will be available very soon and I'm hoping this will be fixed in that build.

Thanks,
