Intro & 2.6.2 question

Gimp user; subscriber to the GIMP newsgroup (comp.graphics.apps.gimp), whose ISP is dropping USENET support, hence subscribing here.

Using GIMP 2.6.2 on WIN XP, I find behavior that I didn't find before. If I have an image, a toolbox, and the layers dialog open at once, and move the toolbox and layers dialog open at once, the most recently selected item is on top of the previously selected item. However, if I move the image (and main toolbar) behind either one, the image is always behind the other two. I checked the bug reports, but don't see any reports of this behavior.

Is this a new configuration option I haven't found yet? Or is this a bug, that only affects me?

You can change the behaviour with Edit -> Preferences -> Window Management and set the hints to Normal window.

You can also hide/unhide the Toolbox and Docks with Tab.

Hi-

This is part of the design of GIMP, but it can be altered in Preferences- Window Behaviour.
I posted a long-winded, but fairly comprehensive discussion of three options at this forum:

Hope it helps!

Even though an earlier poster had provided the info I needed to get my preferred behavior, I was still thankful to get the link to your explanation.

Now, if I can just find out how go get the help systems to point to the locally installed files, I'll be in good shape.

Also, I didn't see any comments on the fact, but printing has not worked correctly with my printer since early 2.4 versions. 2.6.0 reached my printer, but did not print properly, but 2.6.2 seems to be spot on.
