Sorry, I didn't really take a look into the Lazarus sources and expected 
fsStayOnTop in Lazarus behave the same as in Delphi, because LCL should 
be VCL compatible.

 From Delphi's documentation:

/fsStayOnTop This form remains on top of the desktop and of other forms 
in the project, except any others that also have FormStyle set to 
fsStayOnTop. If one fsStayOnTop form launches another, neither form will 
consistently remain on top./


So it means that Lazarus' LCL and Delphi's VCL fsStayOnTop are not 
compatible, which I don't really understand why this decision was made. 
(Maybe some historic reason I am not aware of [?])

 From my point-of-view, it would be a better decision to have 
fsStayOnTop that behaves equally with Delphi (system-wide) and another 
stay-on-top type application-wide just as I suggested before.
