Float bug - Beta - 1.6.3.99


Recommended Posts

Open an image, click Window / Float.  Try to open another image and the original disappears from the work space.  Open two images, click Window / Float All.  Click on the gray area outside the image in one window and the other window disappears from the work space.  Most things cause something to disappear from the work space!

Isn't your problem simply that you didn't move the floating window away from the Affinity workspace, but left it where it was originally? If you do that, when you click the File menu you raise the workspace above the floated window. That seems like standard Windows window handling to me, rather than a bug. If you minimize the workspace you'll find your initial floated window sitting happily behind it.

What does seem like a bug is that, having done that, so that a window is hidden behind the workspace, clicking WIndow-> and selecting that hidden window does not bring it to the surface; it remains hidden behind the workspace.

No, anything that takes focus away from the floated windows causes problems.  I'm only doing things that worked OK with the previous beta.

Hi IanSG.

 

This has come about as a result of implementing a request to allow floating windows to show the icon on a taskbar on another monitor. As walt says, it is normal windows behaviour but it was better the way it was before where the window didn't disappear behind when using tools etc. So I will fix this asap for the next beta. Sorry about this!

 

Cheers,

Chris
