Unpin Button For "Pinned / Floating On Top" Windows

In v4.885 I improved the "Toggle Pin/Unpin Focused Window To Float On Top" actions.
There is now a condition "active_window_is_pinned" that can be used in Conditional Activation Groups that allows to add a unpin button to windows if they are made to float on top:

Here is a example Preset which makes a window float on top when pressing CMD+OPT+CTRL+F and shows such an indicator:

If move mouse outside of pinned window, sometimes the window will flash quickly, how to avoid that?

Hi Andreas,

I've pinned a window which then I've moved to my right monitor using the action "Custom Move / Resize Window" and the "Unpin" floating menu's item stayed (floating, but cannot be moved, in the air) on the left monitor:

It seems active (hover works), but nothing happens upon clicking it.

This happened again today, without moving the window between the displays, but only slightly to right/left.

I don't know, have you tried doing it the other way around? Unpin, then move the window, then pin again?

In that case the floating menu "Unpin" will be removed so there will be no issues.

I'll check, I thought these ghost menus were fixed because I haven't encountered them in quite a while but maybe there is something in this preset that makes it happen. How often do you encounter this?

Andreas, I was on BTT Version: 5.278 when I have reported this, I'm now on Version: 5.294 (2025033105) - not sure if you have done anything between these 2 version which could have resolved this, but I'll monitor it. I'm not using this often enough, I believe it happened around 2 times out of 5-6.
