This has been the case with Xming also on Windows XP. There is nothing in the configuration which allows to change this behaviour. (Having said this, we are using the public domain version of Xming, which is a much older release than the commercial one.).

We mostly use XWin32 on Windows systems which does not exhibit this problem, but there is another annoyance: When you middle-press on a widget to see the control PV, the PV name disappears after less than a second.

I am used to the following  behavior with EDM, if a related display window is open but below another open window, pressing the related display button which originally opened that hidden window will bring it to the forefront.

However using EDM via remote X windows (32 bit Xming) on a 64 bit Windows 7 computer this behavior is broken.

Doesn't anyone else have experience with this?
