Guake window is not put on top in all cases.

[regit]

This patch fixes a problem that was causing the window not to appear on top in some cases. When CTRL+TAB was hit and F12 was pressed, it appears that in some case, guake window appear under the focused window. By using the present() method, the guake window always appear on top.

[regit]

Oops,

The provided patch is not enough. Here's a correct way to reproduce this bug:

• Put a single application (tested with firefox) on your display and give it focus
• Hit F12 to display guake
• Hit F12 to hide guake
• Hit CTRL+TAB once to give focus to the application
• Hit F12 to display guake: it appears under the application
• Hit F12 to hide guake
• Hit F12 to display guake: it appears on top

I can't reproduce this :-(

Could you describe your hardware ? Do you run any special configuration ?

I'm currently experiencing the same problem having upgraded to Ubuntu Karmic.

The Guake window appears at the bottom of the screen intermittently after alt-tabbing between apps.

I have Guake 0.4.0

By default guake appears at the top of the screen, do you use compiz or so ?

Yes - Guake does appear at the top of the screen most of the time but if I alt-tab between apps it re-appears anchored to the bottom of the screen. Right now the only workaround is to have guake run at the height of the screen.

I used compiz on Jaunty and I didn't ever experience this issue.

Let me know if you need any further info.

Someone has also reported some issue with compiz and a guake at the bottom.

Could you describe all the steps to reproduce this behavior ?

Without compiz do you still see it ?

1. Show Guake 2. Alt-tab between other applications 3. Show Guake and it appears at the bottom of the screen 4. Alt tab some more 5. Show Guake and it might be back at the top or still a the bottom 6. Goto 5

Without compiz do you still see it ?

Without Compiz this issue doesn't appear

I'm not sure if this is related to guake or compiz (see #190 where the bug could be fixed on compiz)

[muffinresearch]

Yep that fix in #190 seems to work just fine - thanks for pointing that out.

Then I also close this bug :-)

BTW: it is mentioned on the brand new FAQ ;-)
