Title: Multi Commander stays in background
Post by: Tetsuya_Tsurugi on May 10, 2024, 13:15:10

I have an annoying problem with mc 13.5: Sometimes I work with MC and others apps, the MC windows stays in background, and I need to close and reopen it to see it in foreground. Is there any option I don't see for avoid that problem? or is it a glitch?

Thanks

I can't say if that problem is reproducible (with difficult I can express it in English haha). Simply I have many windows open, I change from one window y another y simply mc stays behind others apps. And it is happens randomly, somtimes occur, sometimes dont.

MC do not control that. It is handled by the Windows manager in Windows.
Only time MC messes with that is if you force it to be "topmost" using cmd "topmost 1" in cmdline field.
But that sets it to top window.. not bottom.

Yes, I can reproduce the issue every day by starting with a batch file; most often, all instances run in the background and are not displayed in the taskbar.

Probably a Windows issue.. MC have no control over that
