How to keep floating window stay on top of the tabbed document?

Community Beginner ,
Sep 03, 2025 Sep 03, 2025

I just switch to macOS (current version: Sequoia 15.6.1) from Windows and encountered this issue. Whenever I drag a document to be a floating window, it gets behind a tabbed document. Now, I can't work on fullscreen because I have to manually drag photoshop everytime I want to see or work on the floating document/window. This is not an issue on Windows OS because the floating windows always stays on top.

 

For reference, this is the problem:

And this is what I want to achieve:

Hey, @emmanpalada. Thanks for the detailed post and for including the correct information. This is a Mac OS thing, which has been brought up in the past. Here is the official word & a possible workaround for this behavior: https://adobe.ly/4niA6FW;

 

I hope this helps. Thanks!

If anyone will suggest to work on "native fullscreen" mode so the floating window stays on top - it's not the solution I was looking as I don't prefer native fullscreen as my fullscreen option because it's difficult to work around on it.
