Hello,

thank you for maintaining pidgin.

If I open the log window to look, say, for what a customer told me
yesterday, the log window stays on top of the conversation window,
making it rather awkward for me, for example, to tell the customer that
I'm looking into the issue.

I can think of absolutely no reason whatsoever for the log window to
always stay on top. I wish I could be able to work with the pidgin log
window open as a reference without it disrupting everything else.

A little part of me dies every time I'm facing this. I've been suffering
of this for years, but every time it made me so sad and depressed that I
couldn't collect the strength to report a bug. Maybe I should thank
today's wonderfully sunny weather, I'm glad I finally made it.


Ciao,

Enrico

Having the window always on top shouldn't technically prevent you from
interacting with the conversation window. Also, you can still open a log
from the buddy list without it always being on top.

That depends on how big is your screen.

Also, you may need the log window to be large because you need to keep a
long conversation around for reference.

But most important, I cannot think of any reason why the log window
should stay on top at all. Windows always on top are soo 1990s, and
generally considered a presumptuous choice on the developer side.
conversation window even if I open it from the buddy list.


Ciao,
