Change to most recent topics pop up?

I noticed this happening here the other day, if you click on the button most recent topics with unread posts, there seems to be a z-index issue where the pop up dialog is behind the box, I updated to the new simple-press version and am now noticing the same thing on my site. I checked the theme changes and don’t see anything specific for that pop up.

Sounds good, just for clarification this is the one I am talking about, I am hovering over the bottom post and you can just barely see the dialog peeking out of the bottom.

I cannot replicate with Win 10 and FF…  but from your image, do you mean the tooltip?  or the drop edge shadow (grey) on the dialog?

grey dialog box that shows the post preview, seems to be working everywhere else fine

so confused… why do you think that is an issue?  its a tooltip for the main page…  when you open a dialog, it should now be the highest priority for display… hovering over a tooltip on main page behind the dialog, should stay behind the dialog, imho…  our dialogs are not modal – so the main page would still be active…  modal would disallow interacting with main page and not desirable, imho…

Not sure, just thought it was strange, the text always showed on top before on here and my own site, just threw me off when it started showing up underneath the box. Here is a better pic showing what I mean.

I know exactly what you mean…  I think it would be wrong for a tooltip to show above a popup dialog…  its just a layering of ‘windows’… which should have priority (or higher z-index), the dialog is my belief…  as i said, we could have made the dialog modal so you couldnt do anything until you dealt with the dialog, but we chose not too…  I believe this to be correct operation… if this is different now for you, we did try to sort out various dialogs and z-index issues some users were having with greedy themes…
