Hi, Orson. I have a usability issue in GAL mode (Windows specific, at least W7 32 bits) when a Pcbnew canvas uses the GAL mode. When mouse cursor enters the canvas area, the frame immediately has the focus and is brought to the to top level, even it is not the current top level frame. This creates usability issues when more than one Kicad frame is opened.
If, for instance, the board editor is currently open, and if the footprint editor (or the 3d viewer, or any other Kicad frame) is open and partially overlaps the board editor canvas (usual case when you have only one monitor) and is the top level frame, as soon as the mouse enters the board editor canvas area, the current top level frame is lowered, and the board editor becomes the top level frame. The more annoying consequence: if (for instance) the 3D viewer (or the footprint viewer) viewer has a small size and is entirely contained in the canvas area, it becomes not visible, sometimes unreachable because each time the mouse cursor enters an exposed area of the board editor GAL canvas, the board editor becomes the top level frame, and the other frame is lowered behind the board editor frame) . This issues, obviously, does not happen on Linux. -- Jean-Pierre CHARRAS _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
