Minor bug in Mac version

[lithgowlights]

The following video shows a small bug in the Mac version in 2017.14 (Sorry I said .15 in the video) with a window not popping in front of another undocked window. In this case I found it by having the house preview undocked on one monitor (Main Macbook Pro monitor) and the rest of xLights on another monitor, but it does the same on the 1 screen as shown.

When I tried to add an Effects Preset, the Preset window pops up behind the house preview, not infront as it should, and does on the windows version, so i appears to be a Mac only issue. Running 64 bit on both PC's as well.

Yeah that was reported in 2015.  That type of problem is usually not our code but either the OS or the underlying wxWidgets code.  I have no idea how to change that behavior for a Mac.  I believe I was the one that fixed this same issue on Windows and no one ever confirmed whether it was still an issue on Mac till now.

Hi Lithgow I'm sure I stumbled upon a workaround for this but can't remember what it was and as I'm in the middle of the Coral Sea at the moment without a computer I can't try it out if I remember over the next couple of days I will let you know in the Friday zoom. If not we get back to Brisbane on Saturday so will test it then. Stuart

Thanks Gil, it just seems to be that popup box, but thats ok and it's not critical, just annoying as hell if you dont know. If I was to swap screens so the overview was undocked on my second screen it works but since my second screen is 27 inch and the laptop just 15 inch, the programming gets done on the larger monitor leaving the laptop monitor for the overview only.

I tried moving the popup for the effects preset and it sometimes remembers the location, and other times it just puts it back be the overview again, but I have not worked out why or if it remembers it after restart etc
