Enlightenment - strange window behavior[Solved]

Hello,

I've just reinstalled arch with enlightenment desktop. And I experience a strange stacking order problem.

For instance, I have gimp, or firefox open. Then, I open the terminal, or the file manager. They appear for a second on the top and immadeitely disappear behind firefox main window. In order to have access to them first, I have to minimimize firefox, or gimp or whatever application is open.

The same thing happens with firefox setting dialogue boxes. I click for instance, the preferences menu to open it, it shows for a second and disappears behind the main window.

Sometimes, the dialogue box remains on the top. Then, when I approaching with the cursor to it, it disaappers behind the main window.

I used enlightenment before but I have never had this kind of weird problem before.

Any idea what could be the problem?

Under Setting | Windows | Window Focus, it's probably something in either Focus or Stacking.

Thanks Scimmia,

That was it.

In the stacking tab I had to uncheck the "Raise windows on mouse over". Now it works as it should be.
