Alt-F2 key in xfce.

[robin_listas]

When I have the focus in thunderbird and I type "Alt-F2" with the intention of starting an
application by name, I get a box named "Application Finder", which pops behind Thunderbird.
Seeing no response I type Alt-f2 several times (and get several boxes behind, hidden).

Is this a bug or a configuration issue?


(xfce-about says version 4.10)

If you are referring to run command it is a feature.
Type the command to open your application and it will work
The run command is in combination with the app finder

Yes, but the problem is that it pops up _behind_ the current displayed window, where I don't
see it.

Ah, I see, you maybe right, it happens on my laptop but it is okay on my two desktops (one 12.1 & 12.2)
XFCE 4.10. On my laptop I have to use mouse right click and cick run command to show it on top.
