Hi, glad to hear the tooltip focus fix works for you, and thanks for reporting this - I didn't notice it because I was using Windows 7 taskbar grouping.

It should be fixed in r31212.

Now GNUstep will put windows in the taskbar if both of the following are true:
- style mask isn't NSBorderlessWindowMask
- style mask doesn't have NSUtilityWindowMask set

As a consequence this also gets rid of the taskbar buttons for NeXT-style menus, as well as drag-and-drop indicators.

Very excited about the recent fix that prevents tooltips from losing focus on the window.

Unfortunately, I think at that same time a problem was introduced where the ToolTip creates an entry/item in the TaskBar (which goes away when the ToolTip does).

Given a choice between the two I prefer the current behavior (since losing focus is just plain bad), but ideally we can keep focus AND suppress the Task Bar entry.
