I seem to have a problem with a background application (which flags in the
plist) which has a floating window (NSPanel)...
When I click into the views inside the floating window all is okay in that
the focus is not taken away from the application I was currently in. I can
click around quite contendedly...
However, when I click the title bar of this window, it takes the focus away
from the foreground application, which is exactly what I don't want.
Graphically, the panel window doesn't change apprearance, but the window of
the other application dims out.
I suspect that the application layer has been switched, which seems like a
bug to me in the behaviour of the title bar i.e. it takes no notice of the
fact I'm a background application *and* a floating window too. Since the
window decoration is private, I can't try to examine this further to
discover what is going on.
The only solution I can think of is to not use the title bar in the window
and fake one with a custom view.
Any ideas?
