1. Re: How do I keep a floating window on top of a tabbed document so that it can be used as a reference while drawing/painting?
c.pfaffenbichler May 10, 2014 4:16 AM (in response to brendabanu)Good day!
Not sure I understand as I have been a Mac user so long and have no use for tabbed windows.
Are you saying that on Windows the active Document need not be the topmost one?
Could you please post a screenshot to illustrate the issue?
Regards,
Pfaffenbichler

brendabanu May 10, 2014 9:31 PM (in response to brendabanu)c.pfaffenbichler meruhelp this is what I'm used to in Windows windowsWORKSPACE | Flickr - Photo Sharing! and yes the active document does not need to be the top most window. This enables me to have my references as floating windows and keep them where I need them as I paint.
This is what I have to do while working on my Mac macWORKSPACE | Flickr - Photo Sharing! keeping references to either side using floating windows or options from Window>Arrange. If I drag them closer to the area I want to work on, the window will either disappear behind the active document window or it will overlap as you can see in the two images in the top left corner. Aside from the extra work from rearranging windows this way I feel that I'm loosing a good chunk of screen (see yellow striped area).

scottcampbell-seattle Aug 28, 2014 1:52 PM (in response to meruhelp)This can't be fixed unfortunately. It is super annoying. What we (brendabanu and others) want is a feature, like on the PC, that never allows floating windows to go behind the application background window. For those of us who have multiple windows sharing data that are open on multiple monitors it is unbearable...actually a bug not a feature.

MikeDcomics Dec 2, 2014 2:32 AM (in response to brendabanu)I've just moved to using a Mac and this really does appear to be a bug. I can't believe how annoying it is to have your floating reference window disappear behind your active pane...it doesn't happen on the pc. And it looks like nobody has a workable solution.
