Thank you James, I would never have thought Window Tab Prefs would be in Dock 
settings!

I’ll give it a try.

Check you Dock preferences.

When Sierra came out I too was looking forward to this feature having gotten 
use to tabs in other apps. 
One app I use quite a lot is Nisus and having tabbed windows rather than 
multiple windows was going to be a real plus, or so i thought.
Sadly tabbed windows was not present and so I wrote to their support asking if 
it would be.
They said they would add the request for a possible future update but also 
added

And so I did, setting it to "Always" and voila, tabbed windows.
A few days later I opened LC and was dismayed to see exactly what you have 
described.
I played around with different windows etc but quickly realised that having all 
new docs open in a tabbed window was not something LC liked.

I turned this "dock" preference to "In Full Screen Only" and have not had the 
issue return (I do not use fullscreen mode for LC)

So perhaps your Dock settings and the way you are using LC are triggering this 
feature of Sierra.

MacOS Sierra - Tab Bar showing in Stack and IDE windows?

2017-02-19 Thread Paul Hibbert via use-livecode
I’ve just recently started seeing the MacOS Sierra Tab Bar showing up in the LC 
IDE and stack windows. I don’t know when it started happening, maybe the last 
OS update, but it’s now it’s starting to cause some problems.

Very occasionally I would see the menu item ‘Show Tab Bar’ with the shortcut 
shift-cmd-T in the ‘View’ menu, but more recently I haven’t seen the menu item! 
It’s getting to be pretty frustrating, when the menu item is not there the 
shortcut doesn’t work for any window except the project browser.

Some of the time this feels like a really useful feature, I can added the 
Project Browser, Script Editor and Dictionary into one window, so that makes it 
really easy to switch between the tabs and results in a much tidier screen 
space.

The problem I’m having now is when opening a new or previously saved stack, it 
shows a tab bar if the stack is resizable, but not if the stack is a fixed 
size. The odd thing is the tab bar eats into the stack size, so if I create a 
new default stack the size would normally be 400 x 400 px, but now it’s 400px W 
and 377px H. If I turn off ‘Resizable’ the inspector shows 400px H, now if I 
turn ‘Resizable’ back on the inspector still shows 400px H, but now I have a 
tab bar showing within the 400px so I end up with just 377px of useable stack 
height.

This happens in LC7 onwards, LC5.5.5 is unaffected.

Until just a few moments ago, I couldn’t figure out how to control the problem, 
but I’ve just found that the Project Browser window is the key. If I open the 
Project Browser the shortcut seems to work provided I don’t go to the View Menu 
first, opening any other widows including stack windows just follow whatever 
setting is applied to the PB window, with the exception of fixed size stack 
windows.

This doesn’t seem like a LC bug, but more a change in the OS that LC needs to 
address somehow, so before I fill in a bug report or feature enhancement 
request, I’m curious if anybody else is seeing the Tab Bar in the IDE windows 
on MacOS Sierra? Or better still, does anybody know a way to control or disable 
the feature?
