NG windows always on top, linux Mint [message #88475]

Folks,

I am still not very familiar with NG. NG windows behave differently than
DGs and CGs, this I could notice. Terminate or CTRL+F2 doesn't kill them
for example (they are quite sticky).

Under Linux Mint at least there is a very strange behavior which I
believe to be a bug.

If I do a first plot and then a second one:

p1 = plot(indgen(10))
p2 = plot(-indgen(10))

The second one appears *behind* the first one and there's no way to make
it appear before it. With a right click on the the first plot window,
the option "always on top" is checked, so I have to uncheck it to make
it behave "normally". Strange, huh? But the best comes when I do a third
plot:

p3 = plot(indgen(10)^2)

which appears hidden *behind* the two previous ones, which is really
what you expect from a window you just created :-(. If I want to see it,
I have to uncheck "always on top" again from the *two* previous windows.
Or, I could click on another window (say, thunderbird) and then click on
IDL again and the "always on top" boxes will be unchecked.

I think this is new since IDL8.3 or since a changed for linux Mint
(Cinnamon) but I cant be sure. Any other Mint/Ubuntu users here to test
this? That would help me if I have to make a bug report, because it is
relly tiring to see your new plots appear behind the old ones...

Cheers,

Fabien
