First of all, where is the download for Version 5.1? It's not on the download page!

Also, this excerpt is from from the release notes:

The Tile commands on the Window menu now apply to the selected documents on the Document Selector (if any), corresponding to the behaviour of TextPad 4

Does this mean that the windows can now be tiled/cascaded even if document tabs are active?

Did you try pressing F5?

Not sure what F5 is supposed to do, but the 5.1 download in on the download page and has been there since Monday at least (www.textpad.com/download/index.html).

F5 will refresh the webpage. Since the the link for 5.1 is there the reason why this user couldn't see the 5.1 download link might be because the page is cached on his computer and a refresh should solve that issue.

F5 was the trick. Thanks for the tip, I wouldn't have thought of that myself.

Any answer to my other question about tiling / cascading document windows with Tabs enabled?

I should have said "Did you try refreshing the page" really, but anyway

I just tried it. No, you still can't tile or cascade windows when document tabs are enabled.

I am fond of tiled-window work, simultaneous editing only structurally similar files.

I need this function! Shall I go back to good old 4.7.3?

If you want the tile function another option is to disable the tabs in 5.1, but i actually find 4.7.3 to be better then 5.x. The only enhancement i can find with 5.x is the GUI......except from that i cannot see any benefit using 5.x.

Yeah, that's true...

As nearly as I can tell, the bizarre "tile only with tabs off" situation still exists. It's counter intuitive, not easy to find in the documentation, and a hideous nuisance. This needs a fix muy pronto. Can anyone explain why this "enhancement" was implemented?
