Bug Description

Since the "keep below maximized windows" patch was first introduced, i recently noticed a change in behaviour.
Initially i was able to make awn come back to front by just putting the mouse at the bottom of the screen.

After updating awn , yesterday (09/12), its not possible to "bring" awn back when pointing the mouse at bottom of screen.
 Sow now its quite unpractical to not be able to access window's list while viewing any maximized windows, which happens ofen while browsing.

Anyone confirm this behaviour?

Well, after rebooting (reboot wasnt linked to awn), i noticed it was still impossible to bring awn back when pointing mouse at bottom.

When simply using option "hide bar when not in use" (and untiking "keep below maximized windows.."), we cant bring back awn when current window is maximized.
The problem may not be linked to the "keep below" option, but to the "hide when not in use" one.

Hmm, this is probably caused by a few things fighting each other. Also, the 'hotspot' awn uses to figure out that your mouse is at the edge of the screen may not be above the other windows.

There's a rewrite going on which hopes to simplify everything, and sort out the little niggles like this. Thus I'm marking this to be fixed for 0.2.6. Thanks for the report.

Same issue for me - cannot bring back awn when current window is maximized!
Sometimes restarting awn helps but after a while it stops working again. this is very annoying.
