Description Emilio Pozuelo Monfort 2014-02-11 08:57:19 UTC

Commit da704d97faef87520c5b055e4b5c8d1f6c8fc1be fixed a bug where if you had two windows opened, A and B, with A partially behind B, and you right-clicked on A, the context menu would appear on top of A but behind B. That commit introduced a regression (see bug #72547) so it was reverted. I'm opening this so we don't forget about the original issue.

Comment 1 Emilio Pozuelo Monfort 2014-02-11 09:02:23 UTC

We have two options here:

- do what da704d did, i.e. raise the pop-up to the top of the layer, but fixing the regression,

- or we could activate A upon receiving the right click so that it goes in front of B. This is what at least gnome-shell does.

    desktop-shell: Activate surface on right click too
    
    This raises the surface to the top on right click as well, which fixes
    pop stacking.
