This is a totally stupid way for a multithreaded, multiwindow, multitabbed application to operate. The modal window should apply to a single tab only -- namely, the one that launched the modal panel. (Sometimes I've not been able to find the modal panel, and have to resort to Force Quitting the app. Very annoying.) _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
