So, you **DO** have the option "sidebar is on top of other Windows"! You
said you didn't.
Remove the check. Shut down the sidebar. Open sidebar. Reapply the check.
Shut down again - open again.
Sometimes settings do not get applied as they should if the system is under
heavy load when the settings are applied.
A reboot should tell if the setting has taken.
