[CLOSED] Window z-index layering issue #8941

Open core-ai-bot opened 3 years ago

I've run into a big usability issue running Brackets (v1.0) on a Debian Sid VM with gnome. Something is wrong with the layering of window components in relation to others in the display environment.

If you go to file > open, the open file dialog is hidden behind the window, you have to drag Brackets out of the way to get to it. Furthermore, if you try to switch to another application, you'll find that too is hidden behind Brackets. And finally, if you open the app "start screen", yes, Brackets is on top of that too.

Specifically, it's not Bracket's window that's the problem, things do correctly display on top of the window title bar, and the title bar and border do disappear when opening the "start menu"; its the main content pane which stays on top of everything else, i.e. the main text-editing area, the dark side panels, the menu bar, and the status bar.

@lrebrown Are you using VirtualBox as your VM?

Ok, closing as a duplicate of #6145 then. Note that I've also suggested some possibly helpful testing steps in https://github.com/adobe/brackets/issues/6427#issuecomment-65301474.
