Thanks, Dan!
Sidenote: the Grasshopper window disappears when it becomes inactive, it won’t stay on top of Rhino, should I start a new topic for that?

I can’t seem to reproduce this on macOS Mojave (10.14.1) and the latest RhinoWIP. What are the exact steps you are taking?
Also, can you please run _SystemInfo
and attach that here?
Hi Dan,
I’ve taken a screen recording. Nothing special, open up RhinoWIP, type Grasshopper, and that’s it.
Maybe we are not talking about the same thing (at the time of posting it’s still uploading):
To rephrase the issue, by the “Grasshopper window disappearing” I mean, that I would like to have it as in v5 for Mac (or in the Windows version): no matter what I do in Rhino, if the Grasshopper window is open, it always stays on top.

Same behavior here - Grasshopper window does not stay in front of Rhino window as it did in previous versions. I haven’t upgraded to macOS Mojave yet (still running High Sierra).
Ah thanks @furtonb. A video was worth at least 200 words Yep, this is a regression after the big VB merge. I’m reopening RH-36851.
This should be fixed in the latest RhinoWIP. Please give it a try.
I’ve checked briefly, it is fixed. Thanks!
Hi,
This has been bothering me a lot, so I downloaded the WIP version, but this is still happening for me. When I use “Check for Updates” it says I have the newest version (6.14).
Is this not the latest version? Do I have to change any settings for this to work?
Thanks, Daniel
OK, I read this through and watched the video again, and maybe I am talking about a slightly different issue?
My exact problem is that I am working with several applications at once (but mostly I connect GH and Rhino to ARCHICAD), and so I have Rhino and GH open on one of my screens, and my other apps on my other screen. When I switch to any other application from Rhino, the GH window disappears, and only comes back when my active application is Rhino again - so I can’t go to my other applications and see my GH definition at the same time - which would be crucial for me. This works absolutely fine on Windows.
Is this a different issue? Can/will this be fixed?
Thanks
Yes, this is a different issue.
A developer is looking into this - you can follow progress here: RH-50695
Wow, that was fast, thanks!
The site you linked says I don’t have permission to view it. Do I have to register anywhere?
Thanks,
The issue was originally set to be visible to developers only - it’s now open to the public.
