MC 30.0.32 DSP hidden behind Options window - and never active

<< < (3/5) > >>

AGAWA:
no funny software installed.

It is strange that with the same settings in OS, MC30 behaves differently to MC28 - which places DSP window in front and there is no problem with other applications contrary to MC30. What a confusion.

bob:
No confusion.
Options is a MODAL dialog. It should be front and center, run and closed. It's not meant to be up all the time.
MC28 behavior is meaningless here.

AGAWA:
Bob, thank you for explanation. I had to read about MODAL windows and see the reasons.

But Options can be used to open DSP Studio.  Options > Audio > Settings > DSP .  In that case, shouldn't DSP Studio be on top of options?  Does that make sense?

In my case it definitely is.  I'm not sure why other customers get DSP Studio below Options, when mine is on top.  My main Mac runs MacOS 11.7 (Big Sur).  Not sure if MacOS version is relevant to the "modal dialog" behavior or not.

Brian - as with Microsoft every time Apple introduce a New OS they either change the way certain thing work or introduce some brand-new undocumented feature that screws other features/routines up.

On the Win Platform if you use Tools > Options to open the DSP Studio Window you always get "DSP Studio Window" above the "Options Window" above the "Main MC Window".

Since the "Options Window" can be used to open other windows, it should always allow those windows to sit on top of the options window and not below them or prevent the user from accessing those new windows.
