Fusion popups overlays windows in front

Minor bug, I guess, as triggering it is a bit unusual. But still happens too often.
Right clicking a component, will give a popup menu and a "info" box in the lower right corner with the component info.
Leaving Fusion there, by clicking another desktop window, will show that window, BUT, with the Fusion popup in front.

Hi @jesper8W75R,

 

I hope you're doing well. Doesn't that go away after a few moments? For me whenever I try to look at the notification it disappears like a second later. It sounds like that's not what you are seeing.

 

Just so you know this issue is a general Fusion issue and not directly related to Electronics. If you want I can request the thread moved to the general Fusion 360 Forum where it will definitely have a lot more views.

 

Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

 

Best Regards,

Yes, please move this to the Fusion 360 forum.


There are actually TWO issues.
One is the Fusion Electronics specific popups that come when you right click on a component in a schematic (actually, a THIRD issue that this popup only come randomly, I sometimes have to right click several times to make it pop up).
That popup will normally fade with times. But I've had situations where it doesn't. Like I mentioned in my original post. It was stuck. I have to go back to Fusion to make it go away.

Shown right here on top of this post I'm writing right now!

 

 

Another thing is the Fusion Browser list, and in Electronics, the Inspector, Design Manager and Selection filter "tabs". They also sometimes end up on top of another window.
That is a little harder to recreate.
But I can make them go bonkers in another way, simply by moving the Fusion window to the edge of my screen. I have dual monitors, but I think it would be the same issue on a single monitor.

This is how it looks when the Fusion window is at the border between two monitors.

Here, the Fusion window is at the right side of the screen.

An even worse situation is if I put the Fusion window at the LEFT side of my LEFT monitor.
If it's dragged out so the browser list goes over the edge, the whole browser list will end up on my RIGHT monitor!
I didn't include a screenshot as it would be very big.

Here's a bit more of the same.
When doing a DRC check, I noticed that the little Autodesk logo was on top of my DRC window.
It turns out it's not just that. 
ALL the tab stuff and lower tool bar is on top! 
(I enlarged the DRC window a bit and made the main window small to show the issue).

Hi @jesper8W75R ,

 

Thanks for the details, I actually think the dual monitors may have a role to play here. I'm going to log this one and see if with a multi-monitor setup it can be reproduced. I only user a single monitor and in my case it usually just fades quickly.

 

Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

 

Best Regards,

Let me just add in the obvious....
I have NO other programs on my computer acting like this.
No problems with multiple monitors whatsoever.


This is not Mahjong, it's an engineering program where the use of multiple monitors are VERY common.

That said, I can reproduce this on a single monitor, just as easy.
