Must double click tray icon twice to show main window

[mcsilver]

When the main/contact window is already showing but it is behind another window, it (should?) be possible to bring it to the foreground by double clicking the tray icon; however, I must double click the tray icon twice in order for the window to come to the foreground.  Note that when the window is hidden, double clicking the tray icon just once works to show the window and bring it to the fore.

Steps to reproduce:

• Show the main window (the contact list).
• Move another top-level window over top of it.
• Attempt to bring the main window to the foreground by double clicking the tray icon.

Notice that you must double click the tray icon twice in order to bring the main window to the fore.

Options / Contact list / tab Behavior / check Bring to front if covered

[mcsilver]

Damn, there are a lot of options!  (That's a good thing.)

Oddly, it doesn't seem to be working even after I check that checkbox.  I tried restarting the app and covering it with different windows: Firefox 50.0, Windows Explorer (Windows 10), Visual Studio 2015.  I tried Windowed and maximized.

I tried it and it works (I used clist_modern).

[mcsilver]

What and where is clist_modern?

[Robyer]

It's one of plugins for showing contact list. I don't know what clist plugin do you use. You never provided version info, so...

[mcsilver]

Apologies...

Yes, you do use Clist_modern. So it should work.

I just downloaded current version, unchecked "Always on top" and checked "Bring to front if covered" and it works as expected. Maybe you have some conflicting setting, try to use new clean Miranda profile to check if it works there for you.

[mcsilver]

OK thanks, I'll try next chance I get.

[mcsilver]

I think I found it.  I had checked Options | Contact List | Window | Disable skin engine in an attempt to lose the semi-transparent window frame.  After re-creating my profile, which seems to reset all settings to their defaults, a single double click of the tray icon behaved correctly: it brought the window to the foreground just like it should.  After unchecking that setting again, the problem returned, just FYI.

So bring to front option doesn't work when you check "Disable skin engine"? Maybe you could create new bug ticket on our GitHub repository.
