asking is never a crime!
I would like to know what the default behaviour is when clicking on
the title bar of a window, because I see 2 things happening
intermittently:
* The first behaviour: the window seems to scroll up, leaving only
the title bar visible, thereby sometime leaving white rectangles on
the screen with the width of the original window, that go away when
the screen gets redrawn.
When only the title bar was visible, clicking it restores the window.
* The second behaviour is that I can drag the window around with the
mouse, whole window visible or only titlebar visible.
It is not making GNUstep unusable, but if feels a little buggy.
If you are running windowmaker and use the default behaviour of letting
GNUstep give over the window decoration to the window manager, the
behaviour is almost expected.
However, the two behaviours are very distinct.
Also, in this case I believe it is not a GNUstep "bug" or "feature" at all
Click-down and drag is as expected to allow you moving the window.
Double-click usually "wraps" the window to the title bar, leaving the
ability to roll it down again.
However, depending on your WindowMaker (or generally another window
manager) settings it may happen with the middle mouse button or with the
wheel. If you have a clickable wheel as button then it may happen unwanted?
A second question pops up: is the maillist the best way to report this
kind of beaviour, or should I report this as a bug. I can imagine
nicer things to do than following up a never ending list of bug reports.
I think asking on the Mailinglist is just fine, if it happens to be
really a bug (or a missing feature) that can't be fixed on the fly,
opening the bug is perfect. I don't think it is your case yet.
As this mail is written with GNUMail, and I did not find the way to do
some elementary markup, it does not look as good as it could.
Nice that you are really using GNUMail (and that it works enough for you
to write!).
GNUMail has no HTML mail support, so no fancy stuff - which, by the way,
is very fine for posting to mailing list where netiquette is to remain
"ASCII".
Also, as I rely heavily on a spell checker to correct my English, you
might find lots of mistakes. I did not find a spell checker eiter. :-)
Oh GNUMail should be able to use GNUstep's spell checker. I wonder if
your GNUstep is built to support it.
To test that, best is to use Ink from a console (in tests-examples) and
use it as a reliable reference.
Type in something then do Edit -> Check Spelling
On the system where I am writing on right now (but which is a fresh
install, I need to tune it) it does not work and on the I see "Model
file load failed for GSSpellPanel"
Cheers,
Riccardo
