VLC's "always on top" does not work

**cam17** · March 11th, 2019

I am running Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS and when I play a video in VLC and select "always on top" I can move other application over top of VLC window which does not occur on other operating systems using VLC. Is this a know problem ?

Hello,

having tested it on my system it works just fine. Maybe providing information about the version used you might get better responses. The version used is 3.0.4.

Regards!

I am running version VLC 3.06 on Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS. I am suspecting a update causing this error. what version are you running? I have posted an xample of the problem on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEJuPjaMf8Y

so you have a different version. It seems that you have added a repository or you might use it as a snap package. I would advice you to open synaptic, install vlc from there and check anew if you face the same issue.
