Modal panels don't stay in front, make MC useless if they are covered

(1/2) > >>

dmitch77:
Panels like Import and Options, when active, make the app useless if the app's main window covers the panel.

1. Run MC
2. Tools > Options
3. Move the Options panel so it's completely surrounded by main app window (this is normally the case, at least it is when I open an Options or Import panel).
4. Click the main app window

At this point the Options panel is not visible; it's entirely hidden by the main window. However the main window does not respond to any mouse clicks, not even close/miniaturize. The main window, and hence the app, are not usable. There is no way to make the Options panel visible. The menu does respond to mouse clicks, so you can exit the app (which AFAICT is the only way to exit this unusable state).

MC 24.0.53. iMac, macOS 10.13.6.

The menu says it's supposed to be CMD+O to bring up the options panel. That works if the option panel isn't open. But in the hung state I describe it does nothing. I think keystrokes are not going to expected target.

CMD+> or CMD+< move up and down a list of tunes in a list view on my machine.

Choose "Mini View" from the "View" Menu.

This will shrink your main window and make the window behind it visible.

Just a workaround until this problem is being addressed.

Yep, that works. Thanks!
