Hi,

I recently received a bug report on the way MacVim handles proxy icons [1].

Currently, MacVim marks a window as being "edited" if there is at
least one unsaved buffer.  This has the consequence that the red
"close" button has a dot in it whenever some buffer is modified (be it
hidden/visible/whatever) but it also means that the proxy icon is
greyed out and inaccessible unless all buffers have been saved.

I don't have many other apps to compare with but Xcode for example
only marks the window as "edited" if the visible/active view has a
buffer with unsaved text.  This and [1] leads me to think that I
should change MacVim to conform with this behavior and thereby also
resolving [1].

Does anybody have any opinions on this?  (If not I will go ahead and
make this change.)

I kind of like it that the red button shows a dot whenever some buffer
is unsaved, but at the same time it is not good that the proxy icon is
greyed out most of the time, which is why I am asking for opinions.
