Bug Description

Using Ubuntu 7.10
awn from http://download.tuxfamily.org/syzygy42
avant-window-naviga 0.2.0-bzr141-1

Since latest updates, i am unable to bring awn back in foreground when a maximized Window is above it. It used to come back to foreground when i move mouse to bottom edge. So now when i have a maximized window i am unable to access window list.

Thanks for the report.
Can you try with the last trunk revision or the 0.2.1 ? The reacocard repo should be up to date : http://wiki.awn-project.org/index.php?title=DistributionGuides#Reacocard.27s_Ubuntu_Gutsy_Repository
Can you verify if the option is check in awn-manager ?

the package name states it is version 0.2.0 (taken from the reacocard repo).

but this could be related to bug https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/awn/+bug/163178 .

Pulled latest version from repo today, bug still exists but i am unable to reproduce it, sometime it happens, sometimes not.
Restatring the app helps.

Is there any chance you could test this using our testing PPA? http://wiki.awn-project.org/DistributionGuides#Testing_Package_Archive

I am using the testing repo, bug still exists, but i have a hard time reproducing it, happens after some hours of uptime randomly.
Current karmic aw-testing packages have dep errors tho ;) I will report back as soon as those dependency problems are fixed and i can test with the new Version

What panel "Behaviour" do you use (what's active in awn-settings)? Also, I'm inclined to think it's related to some compiz plugin, could you please try it with metacity?

Well i have Autohide Keep below, for now it works.
I have to move the mouse to the very bottom of the screen and leave it there for a second or so then it pops up.
So besides the eye cancer creating blinding white unchangeable defaultcolor and my lost theme i think it works very well, ill mark the bugreport as invalid, if the problem resurfaces later on i will open it again.

Since we didn't release Awn 0.4 yet, marking as Fix committed. You can also use the "default" awn theme (in awn-settings), which is black.
