Viewer window doesn't stay on top

[k0rp53]

Hello, I've been just recently using and testing your image viewer and while so far it seems to have It all, I noticed a strange behavior. Upon opening video files, the program goes in the background, meaning I can't use any shortcuts like escape to close It or scroll to view next file. I have to click the window or alt-tab to it to bring it to the front. It doesn't minimize, just that it's not on top. Can this be fixed somehow? Couldn't find in settings. 10x

you open a video file from windows explorer?

First and foremost, XnView is an amazing application. Thanks for all your time and effort in creating this work of art.

I have a similar focus issue running XnView MP on Manjaro Linux (Gnome 3.32.2).

When I'm in viewer mode browsing through photos, the app will somehow lose focus (randomly, it seems). I can still use the left and right arrows to browse the photos, but none of the other keyboard shortcuts (including ESC) will work. If I alt+tab to a different app and then alt+tab back, the shortcuts work again. Or, if I click on the photo the shortcuts will work again.

It must be a Manjaro/Gnome issue, as I don't have this problem on Ubuntu 16.04 running Unity.

Any ideas?

Is this related to this bug?

It happens to me if I am in fullscreen and normal viewing mode.
