Greetings from a very warm and sunny west coast, normally referred to by people
not living here as the "wet" coast
I just had a chance to compare Mac vs. Win versions of 2.7.1 (side by each) and
a number of basic UI idiosyncrasies (bugs?) really highlighted themselves on
the Win side of things, and I was wondering if this is new to v2.7.1 or just
new observations for me. The most frustrating one is not being able to get the
whole of the Rev UI and the opened stacks to be the topmost windows (with other
Win apps open), when clicking on any of the Rev UI windows or an open stack
window.
For example, if I have a stack open with the message box open (and no other Win
app running) I will see the basic Revolution interface bar, the Tools palette,
the Message Box window, and the stack window. If I now open, say, Win Explorer
it opens on the top of everything (correct/expected behaviour), but normal
Windows behaviour then means I should be able to click on any visible part of
the stack, or the Rev UI (Tools palette, Message Box, etc.) and everything to
do with the Rev UI including the open stack windows should all come to the
front. However, only the window you click on comes to the front, except in the
case of clicking on the main Rev interface bar and then just some of the Rev
components (not all !!) come to the front. I say "not all" as I know the
Documentation doesn't, but I haven't had time to try every component !!
I guess this is because Rev does not bind all of its components (and any open
stack windows) together, as is standard Windows practice with other apps.
I can't find anything on Bugzilla which is strange as I'm sure this sort of
behaviour has existed for some time. Am I missing a pref or something, or is
this really just life with Rev running in Windows ?
Thanks, Bob...
PS. setting the Backdrop to true does not help !!
