Amazon Q Chat Window appears on top of all other windows

[deanis74]

I have the Amazon Q Chat Window included in my stack of normal code windows, as a separate tab. It blocks out all other tool windows, which is not standard behavior.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open an Amazon Q Chat window
2. Dock it as one of your code tabs
3. Dock the Properties tool window to the left side, but don't pin it
4. Hover over the Properties tool window

Expected behavior
The Properties tool window appears over the Amazon Q Chat tab. You can see this behavior if you have another document tab active.

Actual Behavior
The Properties tool window appears behind and completely blocked by the Amazon Q Chat tab. None of the elements in the Amazon Q window are clickable because it isn't actually the foreground window, confirmed by the pointer not changing to the finger and remaining as the arrow.

Repeat this with Output/Error List/etc, which I usually dock as fly-outs to the bottom of the bottom of my VS workspace.

Amazon Q Chat obscuring the Properties tool window.

Standard document window behaving nicely with the Properties tool window. Amazon Q Chat is still open and in the same tab position, it is just not active.

This is a known issue with the current chat window. As a workaround, keep the chat ToolWindow in a location away from other un-pinned ToolWindows.

For reference, this is the related issue: MicrosoftEdge/WebView2Feedback#286

It looks like there is a potential fix that we can investigate, however this will require everyone running the extension to install a newer version of the WebView2 runtime. We will have to explore this further.
