Debian 13, x86_64, kernel 6.12.63 GNOME 48 wine 11 I have update wine from version 10 to version 11. On wine version 11, when SC is running in a GNOME workspace that is not the currently visible workspace, and the SC message log window forces itself to the z-stack top, the complete SC program (i.e. main window and message log window) is moved to the currently visible GNOME workspace. This occurs for all SC versions I have in use. This behavior has not been observed with wine 10. So, I assume this is an issue with wine 11. However, I would like to know what the expected behavior is from the viewpoint of SC engineering. Note 1: This is not a multi-monitor configuration. I only have one 4k-monitor for this system. Note 2: I am not sure what the Windows-equivalent of a GNOME workspace is. I do not use Windows. From what I have heard you can configure multiple "desktops" on Windows. Maybe this is the same functionality. Additional question: Can the behavior of the message log window, that it forces itself to the z-stack top, be disabled? |

When the Message Log is automatically opened, it is simply shown but not activated and that is all managed by the operating system. Sierra Chart does not expressly change, the z-order of that window. It is all operating system managed. You might want to enable this option: General Settings Window: Never Automatically Open Message Log or Trade Service Log (Global Settings >> General Settings >> Log >> Log) Sierra Chart has no knowledge of or any control over any "multiple desktops".
