[2.29] Buttons have trouble when used in a flyout window
 
Procedure
1. Launch CMud
2. Close Sessions window (ESC)
3. Enter at the command line
Code:
#WIN test;#MODULE test;#BUTTON 1 {Settings} {#MENU {View|All Settings}}

4. Click the push pin of the 'test' window to make it a flyout window
5. Move to the 'test' tab to cause it to flyout
6. Click on the Settings button within the test window
You will see some flickering as the windows bounce around, but the button failed to work. You can repaeat steps 5 and 6 multiple times by moving the mouse away and waiting for the test window to reset. This first click is making the window actually tack out and resizing the untitled window
7. After the first click on the button, while the test window is tacked click its Settings button again
This time you will see the button worked. The first click really should go through to the button.

What is also needed to make flyout windows even more useful is to change the behavior such that a click in the window or on its flyout tab causes the window to receive focus. This should not cause resizing of other windows, and should not cause the flyout tabs to disappear. Once the window loses focus then it should fly away promptly. All the resizing that occurs with the flyout windows is bothersome, and often does not return the windows to right positions.

I've had issues with this myself. It pretty much caused me to give up on the idea of flyout windows for now. (And was very irritating that I couldn't even seem to get the window to stop flying out.. But at the time I didn't realize there were other ways to turn it off than to try to click the thumbtack button on it again, which just causes the same issue you are talking about.)
