--- Comment #2 from prijatelj <frejulfr@gmail.com> ---
I was testing some of the G'MIC filters when I bumped into this bug. It has a
work around (cmd+Q and then hit cancel), but definitely something not appeasing
for OSX users.  And your work around of right click and selecting detach does
not work. I get into the bug, right click, select detach, and it appears
nothing happens. This is because the top bar that appears when detached, is
still out of the user's visible and intractable space After selecting detach, I
attempt to drag the box away from the top, but to no avail. (Can only click and
drag is I see the bar, which I do not)

All OSX applications never go above or cover up the top menu bar. The only time
it should ever disappear is when in full screen mode, but then the user should
be able to put their mouse at the top of screen and it reappears. In this case
the box covers it and makes it inaccessible entirely, as well as unmovable,
because I suspect the top of this box is what you click to drag and move it
around, which is why the detach does not work, as far as I know. If I am
incorrect and you can click anywhere (that does not invoke an action, ie.
hitting a button) in the box to drag it, then that does not work in OSX either.

Also, I am uncertain if this may simply be a "smaller screen" problem, I think
it would be a problem in all systems. My laptop has a 13.3-inch (2560 x 1600)
screen. Despite actual size, I'm pretty sure that's either an average or above
average screen resolution. I also am more certain it is not limited to smaller
screen sizes, because the brush editor popup appears up there no matter the
location of the actual main program window. And that means that even if marked
as attached to toolbar, its not acting like expected when stated to be attached
to the toolbar. By this I mean, I would expect the popup to appear underneath
the krita toolbar,  but instead it appears statically at the top. This is most
likely an error simply in when it is called to appear, it is not taking into
account the relative location of the tool bar, and also when stated to be
detached I doubt it takes into consideration the location of the system menu
bar.

If I have free time in summer, I will attempt to handle this bug, since it is
mac specific. My studies end and I get free time starting at May 8th. The Krita
tasks will begin then. ;)
