--life-coding or -l isn't working

[4ugusta]

I am running glsl viewer with the command " glslViewer -l test.frag " and while it does open a glslviewer window, it does not appear on top of vs code.

[4ugusta]

i gotta use it like this cuz of that

[patriciogonzalezvivo]

have you try like this glslViewer test.frag -l

[4ugusta]

yup and still doesn't work

[patriciogonzalezvivo]

Mmmm... that's weird.
Just to double check, if you

1. manually move glslViewer over VS.
2. then click on VS Code

glslViewer get's ocludded by VS? or remains visible??

Also, do you mind adding your OS version?

i am using mac book m1 chip

OS : Sonoma 14.5

i wanna use glslviewer as a floating window on vs code but what keeps happening is

it opens seperately and doesn't come on top when i use --life-coding

or if i try sharing the screen

the glsl viewer window ends up taking the whole space messing up everything

which is why i gotta use it like i have shown above

Thank you for all the details. You are right this is an bug. My guess this will require to update GLFW to the latest version, can do that when I upgrade to MacOS 14.5.

Thank you for surface it.
