Hi
I am starting to get the hang of GIMP, but in the Layers,Channels,Paths window all my pop-ups appear behind the window and I cant see the choices. Its driving me nuts.

Thanks for any help

Move the multidialog window, or hide it by pressing Tab. Press Tab again to get it back.

The window with a lot of dialogs: Layers, Channels, Paths, etc.

The window with a lot of dialogs: Layers, Channels, Paths, etc.

When I press Tab the Layer in the dialog box is hidden and when I press Tab again it reappears. When I right click on a Layer the pop-up box with all the choices is still behind the multidialog box.

That's the supposed behavior.

That's not at all the supposed behavior. The pop-up menu should appear above all windows. What version of of GIMP are you using, and on what version of Windows (since I assume you are using Windows)? And what is the size of your screen?

I am using GIMP 2.6.7 on Mac OSX 10.6.8. Screen on 1440x900.

So you have a large screen and a reasonable operating system. But you should shift to version 2.6.11 of GIMP. See http://gimp.lisanet.de/Website/News/Eintrage/2010/10/5_2.6.11_available_for_Snow_Leopard.html

If this wrong behavior persists, you should contact the person in charge of GIMP on OS X.

I installed 2.6.11 and the behavior is the same. I am going to use GIMP on Ubuntu that I installed on the same computer. Thanks for all your help
This forum is the great.

Good idea! And by the way, you can install 2.7.2 under Ubuntu in a simple way. In a terminal, type the following three commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:matthaeus123/mrw-gimp-svn sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

There are so many interesting new features that the small risk of being in an instable situation can be considered not very important. And this new version will be updated every time you upgrade your Ubuntu installation.

Open preferences and select "Window management" on the left side of the dialog box. Check the settings for "Window Manager Hints". You probably have one or both showing "Utility window". Change the setting(s) to "Normal Window" or "Keep above".
