James,
I wasn't able to reproduce your problem, I've tried with UltraEdit and
HyperTerminal.
Anyway, with what you suggest in your previous mail, I think I know where
the problem is coming from.
Instead of not doing the Z ordering when the application ask to place the
window under a zero-sized window. Now, I found the window above the
zero-sized window, and use this window instead.
This patch makes the code a little more complex, but it's better than the
present code.
Could you try the patch, and let me know if it's fixing your problem.
