Re: Window's bounds in fullscreen

Please ignore that message. For some reason Script Debugger was not giving me 
the good values, or maybe I was not reading them properly. Apologies.

Window's bounds in fullscreen

[Jean-Christophe Helary]

There is a discussion on how to detect if a window is fullscreen on the AS user 
list and BBEdit (11, I guess) displayed a weird behavior:

"regardless of whether the window is new (default size) or fullscreen BBEdit's 
windows keep the same bounds ({0, 22, 1009, 800} on my screen). Position is 
thus {0, 22} regardless of the state of the window."

There does not seem to be a way to detect whether a given window is in 
Fullscreen mode or not, hence us trying to find ways to do that using various 
window informations. I managed to do that with Terminal by comparing the number 
of rows to the max possible if the window was fullscreen (machine specific, but 
that was the best I could find), and other people have tried with "position" or 
"bounds", which do seem to be better approximations. Hence the check with 
BBEdit.

My understanding is that BBEdit 12 uses a lot more native frameworks, so would 
the weird result above be fixed there ? Do developers have a way to reliably 
show a window's "fullscreenness"?
