Floating windows will always hide back of the maximized window.

@rinick, I have a requirement where the newly added floating tabs should always be visible even if the max box is turned on.

In detail,
We have a layout and a button on top of the layout which will add new tabs to the layout, if the layout is in maximized mode and if I click to add a new tab to the layout, the newly added tab is always hidden in the back. This will be visible on minimizing the max window.
I went through the code and understood that this is happening primarily because of the z-indices of the float box and max box where the max box has a higher z-index.

Even if I swap these z-indices, this will hit a lot of issues in displaying the maximized placeholder dock window (from the float box), and if I made a lot of float boxes, a lot of those will be visible in the maximized mode too.

So, my requirement is to only show the floating windows on top of the maximized window. Is there any way to achieve this?

I had this problem, it helped to me to reset the component, that draws the layout, when an another layout is loaded
