Default Always on top Windows versus Taskbar window previous

Activating taskbar window previews (like for Chrome) will cause your
"Always on top" window (like Task Manager) to disappear.

If you have a bunch of chrome windows open, with your pointer hovering
over the corresponding taskbar preview windows, your hidden "Always on
top" window will magically appear if your pointer happens to enter its
mysteriously hidden window area.

I do have tab previews enabled for Firefox

I don't normally use "always on top" with task manager, but I enabled it

to disappear.


Task manager stayed on top of the task bar and its window and tab previews

nothing hidden, so nothing to magically re-appear.

I wrote "with your pointer hovering over the corresponding taskbar
preview windows". You did not do that.

Hover your little pointer over the taskbar button, then slide your
pointer up into one of the taskbar window previews in order to show
that window. That is when the "always on top" Task Manager window
disappears. And it reappears as per my original post.

It works for Chrome, Firefox, and WordPad Window previews.

Actually I did, taskmgr always stays on top.

OK not always ... it seems to depend if part of taskmgr covers parts of
the previews, if so then waving the mouse around seems to mess with the
Z-order, but hardly the end of the world.

In its first reply, it mistook "activate" for "enable".
Now it is just lying.
Bull**** troll...
