resume rev backdrop on top bug?

[Jim Bufalini]

I'm not sure if what's being talked about here is the same thing, but if in
the IDE, if you turn backdrop on (not even sure where in Edit -> Preferences
I did that), it covers everything, even the taskbar and the only way to get
to any other program or your desktop is to minimize Rev. Is this the
"feature" being talked about? If it is, I find it extremely annoying and
would vote to be able to size the background, like ever other program out
there (in the PC world anyway). So, what's the number to vote for?

Hi Marielle and Sivakatirswami,

Well known...
Entered as a bug by Klaus on 2001! Assigned to Tuviah Snyder.
Noted as major :-) and I am the only one who voted for...
In fact, as Rev is used by many educators who often need to "contain"
their students, this feature might appear to be more important than
in other dev environments. These developers should vote for this
bug... or:

Last year I needed *absolutely* a backdrop for a very large app
dedicated to seniors in order to let them wrapped in a cocoon
especially designed for them...
I ended by creating the backdrop by myself with a simple modeless
stack :-)
But it was not perfect: a little flash at mousedown with slow
machines...
