Currently, when the menu widget pops out it’s popover, it sets the panel layer to GTK_LAYER_SHELL_LAYER_OVERLAY. I am pretty sure it doesn’t really have a place here, as a user desiring this would just set the panel itself to overlay, and as someone who has it in the TOP layer, i just find it aggravating when it pops up.

Denied, this is a feature as otherwise the menu pops up but never manages to present itself to the user

For reference, with it Always in Top it will never show up over a fullscreen video or game. with it Always in Overlay it never hides behind fullscreen video or games.

With this feature it only appears when requested

Well, this is precisely my problem. No objections for an option, i’d assume ?

By all means, make it an option. When you press to open the menu you expect it not to appear?

yup, because i expect it to be hidden behind the window that is fullscreened. which, now that i think about it, this being my instinctual response probably means it’s better as is ;)
