4.0 alpha 1 problem with editor in full screen mode

[Torguen]

Godot version

v4.0.alpha1.official [31a7ddbf8]

System information

w10 64 radeon vega 8

Issue description

Video capture in full screen mode seems to have problems but I guess they are out of Godot's control, the screen will go completely black at times.

When you go full screen and hold your cursor for a description (on the button to play the scene) these things appear You will need to pause the video at 0:00:07 (at 7 seconds) and look at the top edge of the window, then continue playback and note at 0:00:11 that the error message appeared.

Steps to reproduce

Enter in full screen mode Hover (and hold) the cursor over the play scene icon to get the description.

It doesn't seem reproducible for me on Mageia Linux with KDE Plasma desktop and AMD Radeon RX Vega M (Mesa 21.3.4). The issue might be Windows specific.

While in fullscreen, hovering for a description produces black screen flashes. Clicking on any button with a dropdown menu produces black screen flashes. Recording in OBS shows black screen almost the entire time while in fullscreen – like in the original video by OP. NVIDIA Shadowplay produces a much more interesting result, with the ENTIRE screen being filled up by the description when hovering a button. The black flashes cannot be seen in the recording for some reason.

This does not occur while fullscreen mode is disabled.

Something similar also happens on MacOS (BigSur 11.6.2) using Godot 4 Alpha 1 31a7ddbf8.

When in fullscreen mode, editor tooltips are not shown correctly:

Everything works fine if the fullscreen mode is disabled.

It's also worth noticing that everything is ok when using Godot v3.4.stable.official 206ba70f4.

[EDIT]

Nevermind, seems like that , even without any modification, in the current master branch this issue is solved (tested on MacOS).

Adding the flag FLAG_ALWAYS_ON_TOP to true in the Popup constructor seems to fix it, at least on MacOS.

If this can be a sensible answer, I can test this a little bit more and make a pull request if everything works 😄

It was fixed on macOS for popups, I guess tooltip windows do not have transient flag set.

[bruvzg]

Tooltip transient flag is set to false, changing it to true will fix tooltips on macOS. But it might be set to false for a reason (need to be tested on other platforms). https://github.com/godotengine/godot/blob/46053a1be9cc1bc4957280cc76602aead421884c/scene/main/viewport.cpp#L1228

Not sure if it's possible to have other windows on top of full-screen on Windows, I'll experiment with the different window flags, but there's no obvious way to do it.

[bruvzg]

It's not an elegant solution, but I do not think it's possible to have it working in exclusive full-screen, either set interface to single-window mode, or #57341.
