So what is the best way of sorting this out? Is it the pin system minus current bugs, or is it something else?
Btw, the FR that was originally made to deal with this "plugins on top" issue has been closed and is labelled "implemented".

ya, we need a new fr for plugins on top, and a separate one, for the problem of fx dialog windows being hidden.
i think that plugins auto set to on top, would not be too difficult to implement, but you never know.
as for the other problem, it may be much more difficult, or impossible. not sure how to get around that one. imo windows or os in general, should allow for window options ( top bar, minimize, maximize and all that stuff) to be accessible when dialogues popup. everything within windows should be blocked from access, but moving the windows or sizing them should be allowed for this very reason. it is not only in reaper that things like this have happened to me. it doesn't happen often, but it sucks when it does.
a way around it with windows, is that windows allows for cycling through your programs with windows tab or alt tab, and when you do that, it reorganizes the windows correctly.
not sure if you'd get the same from cycling through your FX that way, but there is an action for that. it's worth a try at any rate.
