EL Dialog hides in the back :)

[Jouni Aro]

I often get El to catch an exception at app startup or shutdown phase,
when the application has no main form visible - and therefore it is not
in the task bar either. The EL log very easily gets hdden by other
windows in this occasion and it is difficult to get it visible again
(because it is not in the task bar).

Wouldn't it be best to show the EL dialog as "StayOnTop" in every case?

In EurekaLog 5.x you can choose this setting the "Project/EurekaLog
Options.../Exception Dialog/Show dialog in Top-Most mode" option.

OK - thanks for the tip. Should you change it so that it is on by
default? Aren't the problems reported by EL fatal usually, anyway?

This setting is OFF by default to permit the jump from the exception
dialog call-stack line to the IDE, without have the exception dialog
always on top.

OK, I see. Well, I suppose you cannot always have everything...

BTW you can set it as default in your configuration using the
"Project/EurekaLog Options.../Default" check-box.
