Description Martin Ejdestig 2005-11-10 18:45:50 UTC 
If you open two windows such that they overlap and start draging an object from
the foremost window to the other window, the other window should be brought to
the front when you've hovered over it some small amount of time.

As it is now, the foremost window can obfuscate objects in the other window that
you might want to drop the object in.

The only way to bring the window to the front, as I'm aware of, is to hold the
mouse over the window in the window list for a short while.

This works in the same way in both browser mode and spatial mode. (Perhaps a
somewhat redundant comment, since I guess this should be dealt with in the
superclass. :)
