#1780 "Close something" does not work in Mac OS X

[Mast B.]

Using 2.10.8 on El Capitan 10.11.5. If the bottom panel is open, for instance, I can't close it using "View > Close something" like i can on Windows, nor using Esc or other user defined shortcut. The only way is to use the mouse.

[Jan Sundermeyer]

you can't close the bottom panel with esc/close something.
That does not work neither on linux nor on osx and to my knowledge is the intended behaviour.

[Jan Sundermeyer]

okay,correction: there is an option in option/shortcuts at the bottom: use esc for closing log.
If that is activated, it works is intended. So I assume, that this option is not activated.

[Mast B.]

I activated that option and still nothing ... this is on 2.10.10 RC

[Jan Sundermeyer]

well it works on osx 10.9. Not much I can do.
@Tim: can you check ?

[Tim Hoffmann]

Works here as well.

Does closing work for other elements (in particular also leaving fullscreen mode)?

[Mast B.]

Now suddenly Esc does close the Log pane. Nothing else closes when pressing Esc or when choosing View > Close something.

What OSX version are you using? I'm on 10.11.5.

[Tim Hoffmann]

TXS 2.10.10 RC
OS X 10.10.5

I'm also on 2.10.10 RC, but OSX 10.11.5.

I'm also on 2.10.10 RC, but OSX 10.11.5.

I strongly doubt that this'll make the difference. It's rather some setting or internal state which influences the behavior. As you said yourself, it's working now for you on the same system.
