Fronting windows with insufficient reason became such a problem on Windows that recent versions of Windows try to stop applications fronting themselves except in particular cases. SciTE should not be fronted by default for most of these commands as they damage use cases where SciTE is being controlled by a foreground application that wants to retain focus over a sequence of actions.
Like ScitePM. I have been playing with scitepm and it does have the capability to bring SciTE up; it asks for the property x11.windowid, but this is not currently set. Occaisionally it is useful to bring SciTE up (like if it is acting as a debugger) up the z-order.
Say you have a director application along with SciTE instances attached to it. You don't want the director to interfere with SciTE instances that you (or another director) started independently.
My proposed Director revamp should address this concern, but as long as we're using system-wide fifos, there is always opportunity for mischief. BTW this can happen on Windows as well! steve d. _______________________________________________ Scite-interest mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.lyra.org/mailman/listinfo/scite-interest
