I think it is specific to using Ion. Ion forces all windows to maximize, so you can't see the menu or other windows while one window is on top. Basically the underlying problem here is openoffice's use of windows which somehow manage to evade the windows manager's control and stay on top even when I try to cycle among windows and send that window to the bottom. I don't know the technical details of how this is accomplished. Obviously the best fix would be if the window manager could give me back control and allow me to send all windows to the bottom even without the cooperation of openoffice.org programmers.
The "splash screen" on openoffice.org startup is a good example of this, and so is the "file recovery screen". I just spent about an hour not being able to use my Ubuntu computer because the openoffice.org "file recovery screen" couldn't be moved aside or hidden by my window manager. Anyway, I'm not using Ion now, I've switched to xmonad. Hope this helps. I'm not sure I'm giving you enough to go on... -- dialog box has taken over https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/6386 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
