Yes, that's a good point. This makes you feel like Sysiphus. :-) I agree that we need to rethink the treatment of floating windows, but it's not so easy: a workspace cluttered by gazillions of floating windows and toolbars is also not a nice thing. But I reiterate that this is a different issue than the popup problem because it's an *intentional hiding* of the window that happens in the framework module while the popup closing you reported is obviously unintended (and IMHO happens in the VCL module). > This is of course also true for any other application window that lies below > the > stylist, e.g. a mozilla: If I move over mozilla to reach the stylist, mozilla > gets the focus and the stylist disappears before I can reach it!

That make me wonder: we only hide the floating windows if we get a notification from VCL that the focus was moved to another document window of our application. If your description is correct we get a wrong notification here. Maybe this can help to explain what goes wrong in VCL?

No, this was possible in OOo1.x also, but you needed to press CTRL while docking the window (this should be explained in the Online Help). > I suggest, that you make te docked floating windows the default, this way, > for a > quick hotfix, other users don't run into the same troubles than I did (unless > they tear the window out of the dock).

The default position of Stylist and Navigator where layed down by our User Experience Team, so we need their comment on this. My take on the "Stylist problem" would be to create a separate issue from what we discussed about it. We then can either find a better treatment of floating windows or use the workaround you mentioned (docking by default). This will of course not solve the popup problem. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
