[openbeos] Re: inconsistency?

Hi,
        again, :-)


    Another question for you:

When an application displays its first window, that window becomes the front most on screen (of course behind MODAL_ALL, FLOATING_ALL - we're talking about NORMAL and MODAL_APP/SUBSET windows), and focus is given to it.
The same happens with all these king of windows, be it the second, the third, etc. window of that application.

Now, I have no problem with that - as long as one of application's windows has the focus(we're working with it).
I don't like when I'm working with one window belonging to application X and a window belonging to application Y which already has a window, pops in front of the one I'm working with.

I'm proposing the 2+nd/rd/th window of an application be shown in front of the previous ones. If all application's windows are hidden, it's shown behind the one which has focus.


    What do you think?

PS: if accepted, I'm not sure this can be implemented in R1 as there is no flag to bring a 2+nd/rd/th window in front. IM clients for example will be the most affected ones. If one uses a GAIM like client, like I do, he won't even notice the difference. :-)


bye,
Adi.
