LSW raise as def in 5.0.32

[Bernd Fischer]

Hi,

I saw a strange behaviour of the LSW in the
Cadence Design Framework II 5.0.32.
The LSW raise up per default if I come over it
with my mouse.
The window manager defaults are 'mouse over window to be active'
and 'do not raise active window on top'.

Why does the LSW behave different form the other windows and
form the window manger defaults?
Is there a env var to get the change of LSW behaviour back.

I'm sure I could dig this somewhere out of the docs,
but if somebody knows the answer by change I'll will
be glad.

Thanks Bernd

This is a known bug that has to do with the display of the little popups on
each button. The default for this in the latest release is for these to be
off and there is a new layout envvar for that called showLPPFullName (set in
..cdsenv) whose default will be off. For releases prior to 5.0.33, the
workaround is as follows:

I'm using the following in .cdsinit as a workaround:

leHiOptionLayer()
lswLayerOptionForm->leLayerShowLPPFullName->value = nil
hiFormDone(lswLayerOptionForm)
