Bug: Maximize button

Post by XL-Dennis » Sat Dec 13, 2014 12:32 pm

Hi all,

OS: Zorin OS x64
LC Version: 6.7

As we can see in the attached screen shot the Maximize button is still despite the settings under Controls.

This is the first real issue I have found when running LC on the OS.

Can it be produced on other Linux platforms?

No problems "over here" ( Ubuntu Studio 14.10 ) - and that is funny, considering Zorin is an Ubuntu derivative.

Thanks for the info :-)

Indeed it's very surprising to learn. I'll see if I can get in touch with the developers.

The gap looks suspicuiously like the space that would normally be occupied by the IDE's toolbar. Where is your toolbar?

You can reset the windowBoundingRect at any time. To set it to the full screen size minus the Task Bar use:

Code: Select all

set the windowBoundingRect to the working screenRect

Perhaps I am misinterpreting what I see, but I see the same window controls on Richmond's stack as I see in the original screenshot. Are the maximize buttons active or disabled? On my machine, running KDE with Kwin as the window manager and the Bespin theme and theme engine, there is some inconsistent behavior regarding window controls. In the IDE's various windows, all the controls specified in the system's window settings are displayed but the ones not ordinarily displayed by the IDE are grayed out and inactive. New stack windows defy LiveCode stack settings, and all system specified controls are displayed and active. Some of this might vary depending on the window manager, theme and theme engine being used, as do certain issues with 3d rendering of some controls which vary from theme to theme (the tab panel and check box are troublesome) under KDE on my system.

Richard,

I have no issues with the IDE Toolbar.

[quote] Are the maximize buttons active or disabled?]

The maximize button is indeed active despite the setting.

I will see what the output will be by changing theme. Right now I use all the standard settings including the theme.
