[3.07] New window
|
1) From untitled session
2) Open the PE
3) New>Window
I get a styles object not a window
Styles and modules seem to work fine
#makew also seems to be having some problems... I can see them from window> but they dont show up
[edit] Title, and added #makewindow |

I confirmed the problem with New/Window option in settings editor and added that to the bug list.
Can't reproduce problem with #makewindow command, so please post the exact command you are using. I tried:
#MAKEWIN test open
and it properly created a new floating "test" window and properly showed up in the settings editor. Make sure your settings editor wasn't filtering the window objects somehow. |

1) New session
2) from command line #makew test/#makew test open both fail
3) checking in PE the window was created, but position is set as floating, changing to tabbed did bring it into view
And while the window is floating, between steps 2 and 3, ctrl+tab does not bring it to front.
This a system configuration issue? Shoudln't be corrupt layout? |

Maybe it is creating the window behind the main window, or somewhere else. On a fresh installation of 3.08 I tried:
#MAKEWIN test
and it displayed the floating test window in the upper-left corner of my screen. Then I went into the Package Editor, clicked on the "test" window and changed it from Floating to "Tabbed" and clicked save. A new tab was added to the Untitled window.
Maybe you do have a messed up default session layout somehow. Try removing all Untitled.* files. Not sure what else to try. |

OHHH oh oh i had the layout locked.
If i unlocked it shows the window for me.
Might be worthy to add a check into the makewindow code |

Hmm, yeah, I guess that's kind of a bug. But technically creating a new window *is* changing your layout, so it shouldn't be too surprising that it's not working when the layout is locked. I'll add it to the list to fix in the future.
