sub-layer=above and manage=off does not keep floating window above other windows #2449

From old posts about yabai, it is suggested that in a .yabairc you can add a rule like:

yabai -m rule --add app="^Notes$" sub-layer=above manage=off

to force an app (Notes in this case) to not be tile managed, so it floats, AND always stays above the managed windows.

But I am trying to use this rule in 7.1.1 and it does not keep the floating window above tiled windows when focusing them. Is this expected behavior? Is there a way to force an app to always float AND stay above other apps?

Works fine for me, are you sure the scripting addition is installed and loaded correctly?
