I am wondering what "popular demand" means. I do not remember any threads on the list about this (I could have missed them). How does one determine this? I am not sure there is popular demand here. It seems this was a change from expected behavior, so no one clamored for keeping it the same way. Should I start a thread "keep the send button sending mail?" I still haven't come up with a case where changing one windows or instance changes all others, when you not are *changing a setting* and doing do on purpose. I would expect this if I was effecting setting in options, or look and feel. Even NT/W2K/XP command prompts ask you if changes done to settings (like screen size) effect this window, or all *new* windows. > Jeff > > On Mon, 2002-09-23 at 17:39, Zot O'Connor wrote: > > http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=30842 > > > > Package: Evolution > > Priority: Major > > Version: 1.1.1.99 > > Synopsis: View font increase size now changes fonts for all open widnow panes > > Bugzilla-Product: Evolution > > Bugzilla-Component: Mailer > > > > Description: > > Before this snapshot, the CTRL+ feature increased the font for the > > visible window. > > > > Now it is increasing all of them.
