So, for like the first time in a number of years, I've opened up WDFUSE, after getting a sudden burst of inspiration and desire to go back and actually make a version of the level for my project I WOULDN'T delete for being utter crap after >1,000 sectors.

Thus far, it's going allright; I've found that I very quickly remember by instinct all the old shortcuts, remembering how I'd originally written INF, and even remembering the settings I'd used, and remembered how to pull off a few of the subtle tricks I'd always wanted to include.

Only one thing is hampering me: where is the setting to make the object editing dialog (i.e, XYZ coords, flag bits, texture selection, etc. for sectors, walls, vertices, and objects) so that it is "always on top?" I can't seem to find anything for it, and it's always being shuffled behind the main WDFUSE window, which obviously doesn't work out. My current work-around is to have the main window shrunken to leave space at the side, but it's distracting.

I thought there was some tab in one of the fine tuning menus that would allow you to do that. But to be honest I'm still new-ish to WDFUSE to be much help. Normally I just keep the window slightly smaller and keep the editing dialogues in a different section of the screen (so I can watch videos in an open corner of the screen while I work).

Yeah I think that's the only way to have it. I recently installed it on a new machine and that small dialogue box wasn't showing up at all. For some reason it was floating a few inches off the screen and I had to manually edit wdfuse.ini to bring it back.

Ah, so it's just something with WDFUSE itself? I thought that there might've been an option I was missing, since I recalled always having them floating on-top before. Kinda strange as well, since I'm still using the same OS.

Alt-tab to it, press alt+space, then m, then tap an arrow key, then move the mouse (to which the window is now attached) and click to drop the window.
