Why not use Window mode instead of float mode? /needinfo

zeroarst commented 2 years ago

Because with window mode it is a separte window, the taskbar has a separate window for it. For example: I have two other tool windows other than the main one. (debug, logcat) image

If I swith to other app, like Chrome, and I switch back and want to get them to dispaly at the same time, I have to click these three windows.

With float mode, there is only one window, once it is focused, other tool windows get focused as well. In addition, window mode has extra title bar which is unnecessary.

@SeraphimaZ Any ideas?

SeraphimaZykova commented 2 years ago

Probably the reason is that it's a popup window. @zeroarst did you try the Allow popup window snapping option?

zeroarst commented 2 years ago

Just tried it, does not work. Also tried Allow child windows snapping, doesn't work neither.
