Hi Björn, I voted by starring this on the google code project. I just wanted to expand on this by saying I think the expected behavior is what you are proposing. Surprisingly, there aren't many Apple applications that have tabbed document editing. However, other tabbed editors I've seen tend to leave the proxy icon accessible if the document in the current tab has not been modified. This also extends to the darkened red circle... e.g.: I have 3 documents open, in 3 separate tabs, only one of which has been modified. If I select the tabs with unmodified documents, they have the 'default' red circle (no dark circle in the middle), and the proxy icon is accessible (not grayed out). The tab with the modified document has a dark red circle and a grey proxy icon. -- Best, Rob Ciaccio -- You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist. Do not top-post!
