blacktree-quicksilver - issue #345

Quicksilver displays behind the frontmost window.


Posted on Nov 30, 2010 by Happy Kangaroo

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Open quicksilver 2. sometimes it will display normally, most of the time it draws behind the frontmost window.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? On all my other macs, the window always draws as the foremost window and works normally.

What version of the product (including Quicksilver version, AND the module version related to the buggy functionality if appropriate) are you using? On what operating system? The newest version (b58)

I am experiencing a similar problem that if tags are already set for a file then using the 'set tags' action does not change the tags. It does not seem to happen every time, if the file has not been touched for a while then it seems to work ok, but if you set the tags, then try and alter them straight away it doesn't work.

If this keeps happening, you should heavily consider switching to Alfred. I really didn't want to at first, but after I did I realized that it's a very great application. A lot more powerful!
