Hi Charles,

Thanks for the reply and this idea.

I didn't have this checked but I do now. But it doesn't seem to do
anything. In particular:
a) it doesn't solve my original problem, the compose window is still
not on top;
b) if I press the Compose button on the claws toolbar, the compose
window opens on top, with focus, but alongside the mouse in exactly the
same position as if the option is not checked.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean. Do you mean click on entry for the
compose window in the task bar in the lxpanel at the bottom of my
screen? In which case, yes, I can do that and the window raises and I
can move to it (as slowly as I like). But the whole point of my query
is to avoid that extra step and have the compose window appear on top
of others as it used to do. Apologies if I've misunderstood what you
meant.

I don't understand why your results are different to mine.

Cheers, Dave
