sViz: You're a true gentleman and jedi, sir. Many thanks for the time spent digging and mining on this. I'll pursue this on my own and see if I come up with anything. It only occurs on this widget, but most if not all the weather and time widgets prompt McAfee to ask me if I want to allow a script to run.

Reply to Allways on top, not working right in ObjectDock Stardock Forums

Mine is set to have TOP = Tabs always on top, RIGHT = Normal Z-ordering (mouse activation), LEFT = Normal Z-ordering (mouse activation), BOTTOM = Normal Z-ordering (mouse activation. Occasionally, the bottom dock goes to AOT (it's not a tabbed doc), say, when I'm using M'soft Word, and if I then click the document I'm working in, the bottom dock goes back to behind the open working document page.
