On Mac OSX one of the main features of UE4 seems to be the Crash Report but this usually appears behind the editor windows and i have to show desktop the access it. Any chance we can get the window to appear on in front/on top of any other windows. this also goes for the auto save progress indicator as it appears the editor has frozen and just adds to the frustration.
Thanks

Hi ,
We are looking into this but need to know which version of OSX you are using and which version of the editor you are using.
Thanks
Thanks for looking into this I should have reported it a long time ago but presumed it happens to everyone and would surely be fixed I’m currently using OS X Yosemite and 4.5.1, on both an iMac and MacBook Pro. But This has always been the same with all versions. Also recently just in 4.5.1 sometimes I can’t click the ‘cancel’ or ‘save now’ buttons of the auto save countdown.
And odd mouse pointer behaviour has returned for me in 4.5.1 when I double click a variable to highlight and edit text the mouse pointer goes to the top left corner and often opens the apple menu.
Thanks for supplying the additional information and I’m sorry it’s taken so long to respond. We are currently unable to reproduce your issue on any of our machines but I am conversing via email with one of the developers specializing in OS X to see if he can shed any light on the subject.
In regards to the separate issue of the mouse cursor moving to the upper left corner of the screen, this is a known bug and will be corrected in a later version of the engine. I appreciate your patience as we continue to determine the source of the problems you are experiencing.
Thanks , in addition to this issue after a level build i cannot apply the lighting build as clicking on apply now or discard has no effect and the 'lighting Build completed" box is always on top/in front of all windows as sown here
in front of safari, if i click it the editor comes forward but the buttons do nothing.
thanks
The issue of : “When there is a notfication up the user can not interact with the editor” has been reported as a bug [UE3805] and will be corrected in a later build of the engine. If this does not fully describe your issue, please let me know what is different.
-We still have not been able to reproduce the crash notification appearing behind the editor window however this will likely be corrected when the previously mentioned bug is addressed.
