I have not solved this problem with sub windows overlaying parent windows .
One. In addition to the case where the account selection dropdown overlays the transaction list during an OFX import, that same account selection dropdown has partial transparency in a normal register window so it is difficult to pick out the correct text from the jumble with account names in transactions above and below. This graphics problem may or may not be related to the locked overlay problem. Two. In the Price Database Editor window, clicking on the Add button creates a pop-up centered on the current list of prices and covering most of the window so I cannot see what I had placed the focus on before clicking Add. Thus I have lost my reference point telling me whatever I needed to remember to be sure that I was adding the correct missing datum. Again, it is impossible to move the overlay out of the way to see what is underneath. This is new to me in release 3.8 with the new graphics, but I suspect it is probably still true in release 4.4 On Wed, Jan 20, 2021 at 11:31 PM David Carlson <david.carlson....@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks everyone! > > I now have a huge red area on my forehead where I slapped myself when I > had the epiphany that I should use Super-Tab to circulate across workspaces > and Alt-Tab to circulate within the current workspace. > > Now to figure out how to extricate the transaction window from under the > account selection window while matching during OFX importing. > > On Wed, Jan 20, 2021 at 3:12 PM David Cousens <davidcous...@bigpond.com> > wrote: > >> David >> >> This handbook page blog post may help with alt-tab on Ubuntu. >> >> https://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2019/02/alt-tab-display-separate-windows-ubuntu-18-04/ >> >> https://askubuntu.com/questions/123977/how-to-ungroup-windows-on-unity-task-switcher >> >> On Linux Mint I can create keyboard shortcuts to switch workspaces in the >> Preferences->System Settings->Keyboard Shortcuts tab but it may be >> different >> in Unity.
