MediaMonkey forum

Yes, it does generate a UAC confirmation prompt.
I will temporarily disable that globally first, and if that works, I can configure Windows to skip the UAC just for MM5.
I already have UAC disabled for MM4 on the same PC (not because of the always on top issue).
I will test this today and let you know how it works

Disabling UAC made no difference. MM5 still camps out on top, hogging focus. No access to taskbar unless I Alt-Tab out of the program or press the Windows key.

Is instead maybe the problem that MediaMonkey covers the Windows Taskbar when it's set to auto-hide?

That is an accurate description. MM5 does cover the taskbar when in auto-hide mode.
If the taskbar is set to auto-hide (my normal setting), for any other app, moving the mouse to the bottom of the screen shows the taskbar.
When MM5 is the active window, that does not happen.

I am sure I mentioned this in a previous post some time back, and I believe it was acknowledged at the time, but for some reason I can't find the posts, and it is still happening in RC1

When my auto-hidden windows toolbar is covered by full-screen MM5, it will not display (pop up) when the cursor is moved over top of it. Mine happens to be top-of-screen, but bottom does not appear either.

This always worked correctly in MM4

Thanks for putting me in the right place!!

Confirmed, I see the same thing.

Thanks--it should be fixed in the next build!

I too confirm this as fixed! (and thank you for that).
