ConEmu has incorrect Z-order in 'Vista Switcher' Alt-Tab replacement #667

Open ConEmu opened 9 years ago

From friendbo...@gmail.com on August 06, 2012 06:14:54

Required information! OS version: Win7 SP1 x64 ConEmu version: 120617a Bug description ConEmu has incorrect Z-order in 'Vista Switcher' Alt-Tab replacement. When Vista Switcher is enabled, Alt-Tabbing away from ConEmu leaves it at the top of the Z-order. Alt-Tab away from ConEmu , then when you press Alt-Tab again to return, you actually end up with a different window. I'm not sure if it's a flaw in Vista Switcher, ConEmu or just a problem between the two...

Workaround: If you enable ConEmu 's 'Always on top' option, then disable it again, it starts working properly with Vista Switcher! Steps to reproduction 1. Install and enable Vista Switcher ( http://www.ntwind.com/software/vistaswitcher.html )

  1. Open ConEmu and any two other programs. Activate the ConEmu window.
  2. Alt-Tab away, then (try to) Alt-Tab back. ConEmu won't be focused -- even though it should have been -- the third program will be.

Thought, you may disable "Show on taskbar" checkbox on "Tabs" page.

Confirmed with 120803 x64.

I disabled "Show on taskbar" and restarted ConEmu . The same behaviour occurs.

This is probably bug in 'Vista Switcher'. Standard Windows Alt/Win-Tab don't have this issue.

True, the standard Alt-Tab mechanism doesn't have this problem. But I've been using Vista Switcher for a while now, and I haven't found any other programs that experience this problem. Also, why would the problem go away when I set and then unset ConEmu 's 'Always on top' option?

Probably there is a bug in both apps. I think Vista Switcher developer must also be informed about this problem.

I have reported this problem to author http://www.ntwind.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2973&sid=731f2b5db9a27b91aa6025022105f6de

As the Vista Switcher author didn't seem to take any action - would it be feasable to add a ConEmu option to work around this Vista Switcher bug (e.g. by automatically doing the "Always on top" toggle workaround)?

It will be possible, if I'll know the source of the problem. But I don't.

I don't know the source of the problem, but I know the solution:

enum ID_ALWAYSONTOP = 0xABC5;
SendMessage(h, WM_SYSCOMMAND, ID_ALWAYSONTOP, 0);
SendMessage(h, WM_SYSCOMMAND, ID_ALWAYSONTOP, 0);

You probably won't like it, but it works for me :)

Check new build 121124?

ConEmu commented 9 years ago

From thecybershadow on November 26, 2012 17:17:09

Sorry, not fixed.

The above fix didn't always work. I added a Sleep(100) between the SendMessage calls, and since then it's worked all the time.

Here is the program I use to work around this issue: http://dump.thecybershadow.net/29677ee1803f640773fc6543043ce138/conemu_vistaswitcher_fixer.exe Source: https://gist.github.com/4469536 You can put it in your startup. Note that it needs to be run as administrator to work on ConEmu instances launched as administrator.

Still the same bug with 130120.

Where I've said it was fixed in 130120?

ConEmu commented 9 years ago

From olegl...@gmail.com on January 25, 2013 12:28:08

aren't dev builds based on "Some changes was made in sources (svn updated)." ?

ConEmu commented 9 years ago

From thecybershadow on January 25, 2013 12:29:04

"svn updated" is an invitation to people who [can] build ConEmu from source to do so and test.

ConEmu commented 9 years ago

From ConEmu.M...@gmail.com on January 25, 2013 12:30:15

Obviously, Dev build CAN'T provide fix that was made AFTER it was builded :D

ConEmu commented 9 years ago

From thecybershadow on January 25, 2013 12:36:13

Build and check, please :)

Seems to work, thanks!
