Z-Index of Handouts Error

1662178889

Edited 1662179883
Focus on a character sheet opened before a later character sheet does not make it foremost in the z-index layers. If there are two sheets, the "newer" sheet is always on top.  Expected behavior is that any handout, character sheet, etc, on click/focus, should advance to be the topmost layer.

Could you supply a screenshot or steps to reproduce to better understand the issue?

Hi Solanio! Assuming I understand correctly, try clicking on the title bar of the journal. That's the part that shifts focus.
Hi keithcurtis, Thanks! That was it. I was clicking on the body of the handout and not the titlebar, which was underneath the covering sheet. So that's user error on my own part. I will say though that I think it's a bad user experience and it should be changed so that clicking anywhere on the exposed portion of any handout/character sheet should make that sheet the foremost object.  Thanks both of you for taking the time to respond.

There might be reasons for that behavior, unrelated to z-order. Compendium items dragged to an open character sheet can overwrite data. You can drag a compendium goblin onto an open elephant sheet and the goblin will overwrite the elephant (There are positive uses for this behavior as well). This might be an attempt to limit that behavior to prevent accidental overwriting.
