I had thought that it was standard RISC OS behaviour. I
certainly have no recollection of setting this at any
time...

However, clicking several times on each of the icon bar icon
currently available, Edit produces five staggered windows,
then reverts to the initail position.

NetSurf behaves identically.

Easiwriter produces just three staggered windows before
reverting.

Pipedream does overlay them exactly, as long as you keep
opening windows of the same type. Diffenrent types of window
seem to open in different places on the screen.

Equally, Fresco does overlay them exactly.

Other apps only allow the one window.
