Problem with error windows hidden underneath user panels

Status: New

One problem that I've had, while debugging a rather large program with a complex user interface and lots of panels, is that quite often, if (when) the program crashes (say, due to an operation on a NULL pointer) the pop-up that displays the error is hidden beneath the currently open program panel which, of course, cannot be moved or otherwise touched because the program is halted. Likewise, I often find myself moving the LabWindows panel around on the screen while in debugging mode,  trying to see the currently executing line which is hidden behind some GUI panel.

 

It would be most helpful if all error pop-ups (indeed the entire LabWindows/CVI interface) had the highest priority and display on top of anything else on the screen.
