Always on Top doesn't always work

Tuesday, May 31, 2005 by leeys | Discussion: ObjectDock

I am using version 1.11.518uPlus on WinXP SP2 and have set Always-on-Top option on for my dock. But sometimes the setting stops working and the dock will go below some windows. I have to either re-start OD or unset and set the Always-on-Top option again. Is this a known bug or something to do with my settings?

I have the same problem, it seems to mainly happen when using firefox or after playing a 3d game.

Wish they can get rid of this bug quickly. It happens quite frequently and is rather irritating.

as a workaround I use a tabbed, transparent dock on top which I gave hotspots.

This is a bug that's been there for a long time now. I've also noticed that if you have a full screen app, ie..a game, running at the same res as the desktop a non tabbed dock will still respond to the mouse causing the game to stutter. With a tabbed dock it'll cause the game to minimize.

It happens to me as well. I just have to restart and its back to normal. Seems to happen with IE most frequently for me.

It happens to me with Opera, maybe once a day. Frustrating, to say the least.

The same thing happens to me. You would think they would fix this constant irritation. Other than that, it is a great tool. I am using XP SP2 with IE6 and Object Dock Plus v1.2

it happens sometimes for me - but not enough to be frustrated over it. just go in and reset settings and i'm good to go. but, it only recently happened after whatever the last update was i noticed it more oh well, still something i'll use anyways! (note sure what i'd do w/o it now-a-days )

Looks like it is a common bug... a quicker way to recover the always on top condition (if you have a tabs dock attach to the edge) is to detach it by holding the left mouse button, dragging it away and release it for a few seconds, then do the same to attach it again and that's it! I hope that soon they fix this bug!
