Research direction
The issue names no source files, tests, or entry points. Start by reproducing the missing “Always on Top” button with multiple Calculator sessions on a low-power VM, then trace the UI path that creates that button and compare sessions where it appears or disappears. Done means the button remains visible and the UI does not shift across repeated launches.
