Capture one 22 - how to keep floating tools on top?
Since upgrading I lost the ability to keep the floating tools on top of the viewer window. Each time I click an action in the viewer window all tools disappear. Any ideas?

Sounds like a bug. You can report here:

If more than one session or catalog is open floating tools seem to apply only to the catalogue or session in which they were opened. I think this may not always have been the case in the past. Certainly some things - like colour readout pins for example - are shared across sessions and catalogs when in use.
Floating tools are not visible, so far as I can tell when using Win 10, when in Full Screen mode.
In normal mode I have not been seeing a problem.

Aviram,
Out of interest, are you using Win 10 or Win 11?

I am using Win10.
Tried your advice - using only one instance. I am using full screen though, but even if the window is not maxed out, floating tools still get behind the viewer window. Been working like this before and never had issues like these.

I find floating tools will disappear behind the viewer in dual screen mode
but I cannot get them to disappear in single screen mode.
Full screen or windowed makes no difference.0 -
I think the "Full Screen" (F shortcut) feature seems to fail to place and already open floating tool "on top" sometimes. It's a long-term Windows thing, or so it seems to me.
If one minimizes the visible C1 window the tool will likely still appear on the screen. (In my experience). If you use the reduced size (rather than hide) window option and then return to full size the floating tool seems to regain its "on top" status. Especially if the reduced size display means the floating tool becomes visible.
If you use the F10 full-screen option the floating tools do not seem to appear and I think this is intentional since there are no menu options available to allow floating tools to be activated.
The F10 option is most likely to be deployed by people desiring a second screen and seems to be intended to be minimalist in terms of what it offers. Very minimalist if using it for a client viewing a live shoot!
At some point recently - maybe V20 - the functionality around the "Full Screen" concepts was "refined" a little as I think some new editing features made it sensible to do so and over time the developments and the two slightly different functional concepts sharing the same name had become confusing. In addition, from memory, I think this is (or was) one of the few areas where conceptual functionality was different between Mac and Windows.
The different OS features will force some things to have different "flavours" in Mac and Windows but in general the underlying functionality is the same. Here I thnk things had diverged somewhat - hence some of the refinement work.
So, in summary.
If you use F10 to activate Full Screen you most likely will not see the Floating tools.
If you use "F" you may see the floating tools most of the time but should they disappear from view at any point it probably just means that the "always on top" status of the tool window is not being fully applied for some reason. Minimizing and then maximizing the screen seems very likely to re-instate the floating tool(s) to their correct "on top" display position.
That's my current experience - is yours the same?

I operate a dual screen system with Windows 11 and before the update I always had the navigator floating on the viewer screen but now it does as described here, as soon as I click anywhere, the floating navigator vanishes, it has never happened before with Win 10 or 11. I do not operate in full screen mode either.

Agree that with dual screen, clicking anywhere on the Viewer monitor causes the floating tools to disappear.
But they can be made to show again by clicking anywhere in the Tools Tabs area.
This is with Windows 10.
Don't use any floating tools myself since I find the whole point of dual screen is to provide the maximum unobstructed view of the image.0 -

plus enough space for all your typical tools floating on the second window, if you can get away with a medium sized browswer/C1 main window.
