Sidebar Always on Top after loading

Just an observation, but if you exit Sidebar and then reload it. It goes into "Always On Top" mode until you've clicked on its transparent background!

I haven't seen that - is the behavior that other windows go underneath the sidebar, but if you click on the sidebar then the other window pops up on top of it?

Sorry, it's a bit more complicated than I first realised.

Using the Clock as an example

1. Detach it from Sidebar
2. Set it to "Always on Top"
3. Attach back to Sidebar
4. Exit Sidebar
5. Load Sidebar

The Clock now remains "Always on Top" until you click on the Sidebar transparent background.

If you want some real quirky behavour:

1. Remove all Gadget from Sidebar
2. Add Clock and my Media Player
3. Detach them both from Sidebar
4. Expand Media Player so you can see the playlist
5. Set Media Player to "Always on Top" and Attach to Sidebar
6. Set Clock to "Always on Top" and Attach Sidebar
7. Exit Sidebar
8. Reload Sidebar

Now the clock body will appear behind Sidebar, and the transparent clock surround will appear above all windows!
