Ctrl+Tab dialog not selecting floated panels

I noticed the "Nevron User Interface - Part of Nevron .Net Vision - Examples" C# window (Version 11.1.17.12) was implemented using the Nevron UI API.  In viewing the examples within it and examining how docking panels works within the Examples window itself I noticed that once I float one of its panels outside and then press Ctrl+Tab to show the dialog which lists the panels and the documents I can still select the floated panel.  However, when selecting the floated panel the panel is not selected visually or with keyboard focus.  Nothing changes. 

Also once I float a panel (i.e. I floated the View Source panel) in the Examples window Alt+F6 stops working for tabbing you through the panels.  So does Alt+Shift+F6.  They get stuck trying to get to the floated panel.

I realize you can get to floated panels via the mouse but a keyboard mechanism is essential and I don't see how that is possible.  Are there alternatives?  These seem to be bugs in this support.  Is there a fix for this?

 

BTW, I'm seeing these same problems in my own Nevron UI test program.

Hi Brad,

Indeed you are right about both problems.
We will try to fix them as soon as possible.

As a followup issue I noticed that should the user change the palette while a panel is floated in the examples program that the floated panels do not adequately convert to the changed palette scheme.  I tried this with the latest Nevron build also and it continues to fail.
