Subject: SuRun doesn't preserve process parent
This problem is related to the problem that SuRun interferes elevation of all windows processes, not only those started with SuRun. (I pointed this out in a previous thread in this forum.)
I use a file-manager (FarManager, https://www.farmanager.com/) that allows elevation of its own rights when copying files to a folder that needs it (e.g. to "Program Files"). It does that by creating a sub-process with elevated rights. The sub-process is invisible (it does not have its own window), and its parent process is normally the file-manager process.
After installing SuRun, it doesn't work this way anymore. When the file-manager wants to elevate itself, the secure desktop occurs as usual, but now with the SuRun dialog instead of the standard Windows one. The result is that the elevated file-manager process is now visible and its parent is not the original file-manager process.
Windows 7 Pro x64, SuRun 1.2.1.2.
