Bug Description

Binary package hint: gedit

1) Description: Ubuntu 10.10 Release: 10.10
2) Gedit 2.30.3-1ubuntu1
3) What you expected to happen:
I have enabled gedit "Always on top" in window mode (not maximized).
When I click on other applications, e.g., terminal maximized and without "Always on top" enabled, gedit should remain visible (on top of the terminal).
4) What happened instead:
However, gedit disappears into the background, i.e., cannot be seen on screen.

I could not reproduce this bug. Can you please try to reproduce it with a new user? It may be something with your user settings that's breaking this feature, so testing with a new system user might determine where the problem is.

I could not reproduce the bug after a few reboots.
So I am also not sure what exactly caused it. Could be a one-off problem.
You can probably close this as solved. Sorry.
