Summary

0006765: Click a SystemWindow; it does not go on top of a regular Morph, only on top of other SystemWindows

Description

Squeak3.10beta.7143

A DemoMorph, sco Morph, covers part of the screen.
DemoMorph>>mouseDown: is written so that a DemoMorph goes to front when clicked.
A SystemWindow, e.g., a Browser, does NOT go to front when clicked.

Steps To Reproduce

Additional Information

Karl pointed out that the problem was caused by
  SystemWindow>>mouseDown: evt
    ...
    TopWindow == self ifFalse:
        [evt hand releaseKeyboardFocus.
        self activate]
        ...
System Window only only goes on top of its own current TopWindow!!

I hacked this solution that fixed the problem for me:
  SystemWindow>>mouseDown: evt
    ...
    ((w := self world) notNil and: [w firstSubmorph == self])
    ifFalse:
        [evt hand releaseKeyboardFocus.
        self activate]
        ...

SystemWindows is ripe for a refactoring.

(0011436 - 105 - 105 - 105 - 105 - 105 - 105) TRee 11-14-07 08:32	Expected behavior is that a window will go to front (be wholly visible on the screen) when it is clicked.
