If I've got a VST plugin window open in Bitwig, the window stays open & sits on top of any other app windows when switching apps...

I'm assuming that you're on OSX (though that might not be the case)?

I reported this the other week... Dom replied that this is one of the side effects of plug-in sandboxing (as the plug-in is treated more or less as a standalone application) and that they're looking for a solution in the future.

In the meanwhile, using BWS in Fullscreen mode stops this from happening. :)

Good call on full screen mode! Will give that a go

Actually full screen mode is kinda perfect for Bitwig because the File, Edit etc. menus are still up the top, and the way full screen mode operates in Mavericks & Yosemite makes it just another space you can switch between, like in Mission Control... I think this is an adequate workaround for sure
