Always on Top doesn't always work

from WinCustomize Forums
I am using version 1.11.518uPlus on WinXP SP2 and have set Always-on-Top option on for my dock. But sometimes the setting stops working and the dock will go below some windows. I have to either re-start OD or unset and set the Always-on-Top option again. Is this a known bug or something to do with my settings?

I have the same problem, it seems to mainly happen when using firefox or after playing a 3d game.

Wish they can get rid of this bug quickly. It happens quite frequently and is rather irritating.

as a workaround I use a tabbed, transparent dock on top which I gave hotspots.

This is a bug that's been there for a long time now. I've also noticed that if you have a full screen app, ie..a game, running at the same res as the desktop a non tabbed dock will still respond to the mouse causing the game to stutter. With a tabbed dock it'll cause the game to minimize.

It happens to me as well. I just have to restart and its back to normal. Seems to happen with IE most frequently for me.

The same thing happens to me. You would think they would fix this constant irritation. Other than that, it is a great tool. I am using XP SP2 with IE6 and Object Dock Plus v1.2

it happens sometimes for me - but not enough to be frustrated over it. just go in and reset settings and i'm good to go. but, it only recently happened after whatever the last update was i noticed it more oh well, still something i'll use anyways! (note sure what i'd do w/o it now-a-days )

Looks like it is a common bug... a quicker way to recover the always on top condition (if you have a tabs dock attach to the edge) is to detach it by holding the left mouse button, dragging it away and release it for a few seconds, then do the same to attach it again and that's it! I hope that soon they fix this bug!
