This ultimately prevents a user from customising pop-ups generated by org in the same way they would with other pop-up windows. (have not shared my org-config as it is not really relevant to the issue here -- others are also seeing the same problem per the stack exchange questions I posted) Emacs : GNU Emacs 24.5.1 (x86_64-w64-mingw32) of 2015-05-16 on KAEL Package: Org-mode version 8.2.10 (release_8.2.10 @ c:/Program Files/emacs/share/emacs/24.5/lisp/org/)
