Should not a Plugin`s GUI currently used come on top of others?

Hello there.

Not sure how to describe it in my poor English

So lets say i use 5 plugins on a track if i then open all 5 GUI-Windows i would expect that the one i click on
should be the one „on the surface“ and not covered by the others.

Right now if i have multiple plugin windows open i have to shift them here and there and „unbury“ them from plugins hovering above them
thus covering them.

I hope you know what i mean? Is this normal? I dont remember it being so in the past?

Hey there. Long time no see …. :-)

Cool! Thank you for this info. And i was starting thinking its my fault somehow cause right after creating this post <
some started working but then i saw it is not reliably so it has a bit of a random behaviour
