Window behaviour incorrect (not always on top) #10

Open hittingray opened 5 years ago

hittingray commented 5 years ago

I was using zzrough's version of this before and thought I would check to see if the behaviour was correct here. When clicking outside the terminal window, the terminal gets minimised. This is happening on Ubuntu 18.04, GNOME 3.28.2 on Wayland.

See here as well: https://github.com/zzrough/gs-extensions-drop-down-terminal/issues/215

I don't know if this is related (or even intended), but the terminal doesn't stay on top of full screen vids for example. It's not related to wayland, this happens on x11 as well. I'd personally really like to have it on top of fullscreen vids cause some times when I program, I have dropdown terminal on the other screen which may or may not have some youtube music video playing and I have to first get out of full screen before I can work with the terminal. And it's not just me, I actually recommended the extension to others and they all moved on to something else because of this.

Looking at the code for the virtual keyboard that is now included in gnome-shell might give some insight on how to make it be always on top. As a bonus, from that code it might be possible to get the actual drop down animation to work again...

@razcore-art @snaggen Could you please check related fix for #46

bigbn commented 4 years ago

@hittingray i've got a lot of unresolved questions about compatiblity with wayland. By the way I found no solutions yet

razcore-rad commented 4 years ago

@bigbn, leaving just DROPDOWN_MENU as the commit says seems to have fixed it. Nice!

snaggen commented 4 years ago

@bigbn as I said in #46 , that fix still doesn't keep it always on top.

razcore-rad commented 4 years ago

Interesting, on Ubuntu 19.10 xorg (not using wayland cause it's production ready it seems) on my machine so far it works pretty well. I haven't had any problems with the terminal not showing on top.

@razcore-art I'm using Fedora 31 with Wayland.
