#50 OS-X-Title bar gone when child maximized

[Wim Rijnders]

First off, version 1.8.9.2 is a great improvement over the 1.8.6
version that I have been using for some time now. Congrats and
thanks.Report:

When running on OS-X, if I maximize an MDI child, the title bar of
the MDI child disappears from view. The only way to get it back is
to use one of the Tile options under the Window menu.

There are two sides to this: first, document title and the triangle
thingie (I thought this was a save-indiciator, but the colour does
not appear to correspond with the save-state. Is this a bug a
well?) are not visible. Second, there are no buttons in view to
restore/close the given window.

Glad to hear that 1.8.9.2 runs better on OS-X. I'm so
happy that it just runs
on OS-X, which means we don't have to futz with a special Mac-ified version. I
don't run OS-X myself, and don't think Maynard does. But we are both
pretty
focused on having extremely portable run-anywhere
clean
Java code.

Interesting about the maximization issue.
Question: if you have just one document open, not maximized, and then give
one of the tiling commands, does the title bar stay in view ?

Anwser to question previous: yes, if you choose any of the tile options,
the title bar stays in view. For an example screendump, see:

Oh good. I wrote the tiling code. So this can be done
x-platform-correctly.

Maximization currently uses other
code. I'll see if that code's easily tweeked to do the
right thing ... if not, the tiling code can fill in quite nicely
for maximization, particularly once it gets its 'stickiness'
capabilities.

Hi Stanley,

Ideally, the layout should correspond to that of a native os-x app, eg.
see screendump of the standard os-x text editor:

http://home.wanadoo.nl/~wimrijnders/store/nativeapp_osx.jpeg

The MDI children are free floating windows, the main menu of the MDI
parent is at the top of the screen. The application name (' Teksteditor' )
is visible as the first item on the menu.

This layout would be preferable on OS-X. There's more of course but I'll
leave that out of the picture.
