MC 30.0.32 DSP hidden behind Options window - and never active
AGAWA:
Brian,
I have the same situation with MC 30 on Big Sur Mac Mini late 2014 (read my first entry here). I'm curious why in your case MC30 behaves in old way and in my case I have "MODAL" window that is always in front of any application.
I would prefer to be able to bring whatever window to front rather than have to close (with red dot) options window to get access to DSP settings. This would be so called "usual operation in Mac OS".
But , as I understand, MODAL window was introduced purposely, according to Bob "It should be front and center, run and closed. It's not meant to be up all the time."

True. Just close the Options window.
DJLegba:
A modal won't let its parent take focus, but it will let its children take focus. The Options window opens many child windows. Most of them are also modal, but even though the DSP window itself is not modal it should still get focus when opened as a child of Options.

Guys I've found a Solution to the Problem of the Options Window being on top of A Window that the Options Window has opened, like the DSP Studio Window.
All you have to do is grab hold of the Options Window and drag Iit to the left side of the screen and then grab the DSP Studio Window and drag it to the right, if there's still any overlap of the DSP Studio Window use the resize handles on the Options Window to give unobstructed access to the DSP Studio Window.
Now for the fun/good bit - After moving/modifying the Options Window clicking anywhere in the DSP Studio Window will give it the focus so that you can make any changes to it's settings.
Now for the really good bit MC Remembers the location of both windows and they will open in exactly the same places/locations the next time you use the Options Window to get to the DSP Studio Window.
It may also be a good thing to open the DSP Studio Window and under Manage Plugins select the Show Always on Top - that should stop the DSP Studio Window vanishing behind the Main MC Window.

The DSP studio window is a weird exception since it's opened in 2 different places with different behavior.
One is from the main UI in which it should be able to be shifted foreground to background because it runs the same time as the main UI and the other where it's open as a child of the Options window (which I never do so it didn't come to mind).
When the DSP studio windows is opened from the Options window it's a modal as well (you shouldn't be able to input into another window while it's up).
I'll think about possible ways to handle that but it doesn't fit cleanly into the current structure of window handling on Mac.
