Hello. I wanted to report a bug that I have encountered on a variety of different devices (personal computer, work computer, virtual machines in Azure, etc, etc), so I can confidently say the issue isn't a one off. It has to do with the SPS app management window. You know. This guy:

So, the issue that I am running into is that something (I have no idea what) is happening that is results in the window having the "always on top" property set, meaning that it is always visible on top of other windows even if another window has been clicked and focused on. This becomes especially problematic when attempting to update apps, as the little mini window displaying the progress of the updates gets trapped behind the SPS app management window, which results in the application locking up because the mini window has to be closed before the main SPS app management window can be interacted with again, and I have to use an external tool (Wintop) to make the mini window appear above the parent window so that it can be closed. The short video below demonstrates the problem. Let me know if you have any questions.

Interesting.

Indeed the SPS app management window is not always on top. In fact you can switch the window and the new one goes on top. If it behaves this way, there's something out of my control.

The normal rule is that, among the SyMenu windows, the last opened window is put on top of the previous one. It happens when you open SPS app management from the configuration window for example.
But even in this case there would be an oddity here, because the little download progress window is a child of SPS app management regardless of any other kinship bond of this one with any other window. And in Windows when you are the child of a parent, by default, you stay on top of your parent, like in real life smile.

Probably there's something strange in the two windows relationship too.
Maybe the download progress window is not a real child of the SPS app management window... I need to ask the postman here.

Anyway I'll try to solve the issue. In the meanwhile it is really important if you succeed in understanding when this happens precisely, because I imagine this thing is happening once in a while, so I can reproduce it.
