Description Roman 2016-08-30 06:39:37 UTC

I have transparent panel with "Windows Go Below" visibility option, so I want my windows to go below that panel(s) when they're opening. It works well on other window placement options, but not with "Smart" one. Still, it works fine with "WIndows Can Cover".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create panel with "Windows Go Below" visibilty
2.Choose "Smart" window placement
3.Open windows

Actual Results:  
Windows doesn't go below panel

Expected Results:  
Windows Ignores that type of panels
