switching desktops makes keepnote appear on top #423

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. In keepnote preferences, uncheck 'Always on top' and 'Visible on all 
desktops'
2. Open a window of another program, and make sure that keepnote is not on top 
anymore
3. Switch to another desktop and back to the desktop with the keepnote window 
open:
  a)switch using the workspace switcher: keepnote appears on top
  b)switch using the keyboard shortcut (ctrl-alt-arrow key):keepnote first appears on top, but when the shortcut combination is released, the other window appears on top again.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
When keepnote is not on top and the 'Always on top' preference is unchecked, 
switching desktops should keep keepnote 'not on top'.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
KeepNote 0.7.1

Please provide any additional information below.
OS: Ubuntu 10.10
I really like this program, with this bug fixed I may start to love it ;) 
Thanks for your work!

Strange.  I wonder if the preference is really being saved correctly.  Can you 
check the preference file ~/.config/keepnote/keepnote.xml

And look for the lines

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<keepnote>
<pref>
    <dict>
        ...
        <key>window</key><dict>
            ...
            <key>keep_above</key><false/>
            <key>stick</key><false/>
            ...

Do these options agree with what you choose in the GUI (keep_above='Always on 
top', stick='Visible on all desktops')?

Also I am testing a new version, 0.7.3, which you can try (I expect this 
particular bug to change in behavior though).

Yes, these options agree with what I choose in the GUI.
I have the same problem in version 0.7.3 (haven't tested 0.7.4).
I always have keepnote on a separate workspace to avoid this (indeed strange) 
behavior.
