Document Selector in 5.2.0

Post by Noddy330 »

When I have tiled windows, and press F11 (switch on), the windows move right so that I can't see all the contents of the right hand windows.

Similarly when I press F11 again (Switch off), the windows move to the left and leave a gap at the right hand side.

Maybe when F11 is pressed and the windows are tiled, it should re-tile?

... and when I start TextPad with several files tiled (command line -av option), with document selector already selected, the files "fall off" the right hand side of the window - which is even more annoying.

- Try putting the "Tile Horizontally" toolbar button (or the one of your choice) on a toolbar so that you can retile with just a single click.

- Try "floating" the Document Selector instead of docking it. Does that eliminate the problem of the Document Selector's modifying the tiling when it is launched?
I came in on 4.5 in 2001, moved to 4.7.2 in 2004, moved to 4.7.3 in 2007, moved to 5.4 in 2010, and am excited about 2013. I've said it many times before, and I'll say it many times again: "I love this program."

Isn't this a bug that could be fixed?
Neither of these things happened in Rel 4.7.3
